Product Information

Full details

This Laser Freewheel Mechanism Tool is designed for automotive technicians working on specific BMW and Mercedes-Benz models. Its key benefit is enabling vehicle movement when the Intelligent Servo Module fails or the transmission is stuck in park, a critical situation that can immobilize a car. A primary caveat is its specialized application, requiring detailed knowledge of compatible vehicle chassis and bolt patterns. The tool effectively bypasses a locked gearbox, allowing for towing or repositioning without causing further damage.

What specific BMW models is this tool compatible with?

What is the maximum speed recommended when using this tool?

The maximum recommended speed when using this tool is 3 mph (5 kph).

Can this tool be used if the Intelligent Servo Module is not the issue?

No, this tool is specifically designed for situations where the Intelligent Servo Module has failed or the transmission is otherwise locked in park. It is not intended for general transmission service.

What does '112mm PCD' and '120mm PCD' refer to?

PCD stands for Pitch Circle Diameter. It refers to the diameter of the circle on which the bolt holes are laid out on the wheel hub or brake disc assembly where this tool would interface.

Is this tool a permanent solution?

No, this tool is a temporary solution to enable vehicle movement in an emergency. The underlying issue with the Intelligent Servo Module or transmission should be diagnosed and repaired.

Where can I find detailed installation instructions?

Detailed installation and usage instructions should be referenced from the specific vehicle's official service manual, as the exact procedure can vary slightly between models.

Troubleshooting

Vehicle still won't move after tool installation

Double-check that the correct tool version for your vehicle's bolt pattern is used. Ensure the tool is fully engaged according to the service manual procedures. Verify the Intelligent Servo Module is indeed the cause of the 'Park' lock.

Tool appears difficult to fit

Confirm vehicle compatibility and the correct PCD bolt pattern (112mm vs 120mm). Ensure no debris is obstructing the mounting points on the vehicle.

Sticking or binding during movement

Immediately cease movement. The tool is designed for slow, controlled rolling (max 3 mph). Any binding may indicate improper installation or a more severe drivetrain issue. Consult the vehicle's service manual.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Verification: Before use, confirm your vehicle's make, model, and chassis code. Ensure you are using the correct version of the tool for the specific bolt pattern: 112mm PCD black bolts for Mercedes-Benz applications (W164, W204, W212, W221, W251) and 120mm PCD silver bolts for BMW applications (F01, F02, F10, F12, F13, F25, F30, F31, F32, F33, F34).

Setup: The tool is designed to be used by qualified technicians. Typically, it involves accessing the transmission housing or a related component as per the vehicle's service manual. Specific instructions for attachment and operation will be detailed in the vehicle's repair documentation.

Care: After use, clean the tool with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove any dirt or grease. Store it in a dry environment, preferably in its original case or a protective box, to prevent corrosion and damage. Avoid exposing the tool to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals. Regular inspection for wear or damage is recommended.
