I plan on removing the engine in my w123 chassis 85 wagon, and I need help finding out what tools I need... I can't check for myself because I need to bring my tools with me on the trip to the car, about 300 miles... Curious what bolts hold on the transmission and motor mounts, and whether I should remove the trans with the engine or just leave it in the car... Thanks for your time, -Robert

I tried doing farm mechanicing from 30 miles away for about ten years... I would never try this 300 miles away... I suggest that renting a trailer and towing it back to really close to your location would save both money and time in the long run.....
