300SD Motor and Subframe Mounts

Blanche needs subframe mounts I think. My mechanic says they're not totally sunk, but getting there. 175K miles and they're original. The rear should sit a little higher I think. Is this a do it yourself job? I will have use of my brother's body shop over the weekend, so it would be a great time to put it on jack stands and go to work.
My other question: Is there more room to change the motor mounts than on the 300D? After I changed the last set, I swore I would NEVER do it again. I gladly paid $65 in labor to get it done. But this car looks to have more room.
I would really welcome any suggestions from W126 owners who have tackled either of these jobs.


Thanks in advance, and an early Happy Thanksgiving!
