Upper Bolt on '00 E320 Wagon Motor Mount
Could somebody that has replaced the motor mounts on an E320 (210) give me some advice on how they were able to access that darn upper bolt on the motor mounts.
It looks like I would have to remove the alternator to get to the passenger side and the A/C compressor to get to the driver side.
Even then it is as tight as....well, you pick the word.
I have a gear wrench that should help with the upper bolt but I think I'd even need one with a pivoting end which I could buy. I don't think there is any room for a socket in there.
Lower bolts are no problem, and I am guessing that after that I just need to jack up the engine a bit with the floor jack and the mounts should slide out.
If all else fails - any recommendations for a mechanic in the MA area that would install them?
Thanks in advance!
