Hi,

Can a subframe kit be installed on a 75 Mercedes 450 SL with common everyday tools. Want to know how hard it is before I order the parts.

Tks,
Joe R.

There is a 'Search' button and type in "subframe'. Or, try the SL forum.

if you are talking about the front subframe mounts on the 450sl then its a relatively easy job so long as you have some way to raise and lower the engine. I used a 2 ton hoist on my roof trusses to hold the motor up and a floor jack under the subframe to lower it when needed and the whole lot took me about 4 hours
