I just completed the engine mounts install on my 1983 300D. I went through two cans of brake cleaner and 1 can of PB Blaster before I took off the old mounts. One thing I recommend you do that I wish I did was pressure wash the engine mount areas. I also went to Harbor freight and picked up a impact 1/2" Allen socket set and a short set of Allen wrenches. Another good tool is a very small socket set. 18" breaker bar is a nice tool to have for working on the Mercedes.
