Thought I would start a thread here for workshop tips & home
made tools etc doesn't have to be Unimog or M.B Trac specific
but would prefer if they were relevant for either or their
implements.

One of my favourites is removing broken studs by either welding
a nut or washer on & then just unscrew them.

Another one is removing bearings from a tight housing using a
weld bead to shrink it.

The welding a nut to a bolt is a personal favourite of mine, it
proovides a heating and "quenching" element at the same time.
Another method to stop the bolt snapping is to work it back and
forth a bit, for example 1 turn out, half turn in, 1 turn out,
can be time consuming but it's saved a lot of bolts in my time.
