Motor mounts

’91 420SEL. Getting ready to reinstall my A/C compressor and thought it might be a good time to replace the engine mounts. So it’s on the lift and I’m staring at right side mount scratching my head trying to figure how this thing comes apart. The big single bolt from underneath, easy. The smaller outboard bolt on top, easy. The inboard smaller bolt, no access at all?
The arm to the engine mounting plate which also is the engine shock mount covers it.
The four hex bolts on the engine mounting plate could be removed except for the upper left one that bottoms out on the mount itself.
I’ve searched the forums. Nada.
Has anyone done this, or have a link. I’m thinking the W126 V-8’s may all be the same.
I’m stumped. I have the FSM CD’s but haven’t looked at that yet. Looking for some real life experience.

TIA
