According to Wayne's instructions, I must not disconnect both mounts at the same time. So for my 90 300E, I loosen the driver's side while I've removed the passenger side and see if I can tilt the motor enough to get the room I need. Additionally, I try to compress the mount a little in my bench vice to see if that will somehow shorten it (I think it will just expand back to its original height, but it might save 1/4 inch and make it easier.

Even if I unbolt the arm to the engine, I don' see how I'll be able to bolt the arm back on once I've attached the mount.

I'll report back. Thanks.
