I recently bought a new rear engine/tranny mount. Reading my mercedes CD manual for guidance to replace, it say's do not remove the closing plate(support plate under tranny)to remove the mount, and it doesn't offer any other way of doing it.

I see no other way of accessing that mount unless that plate is removed. I understand I'd have to support the tranny under the pan to remove the plate but the CD say's don't remove plate.

Has anyone else done this before and have suggestions? I think the MB CD is incomplete and quite misleading.
