Once you get all the bolts and wires holding the starter off, be prepared because the starter is heavy. You may need to move the steering left or right to create the opening that you can maneuver the starter out.

I used this method to take the starter off of my friends 280CE minus the flex joint (The starter is setup in a similar arrangement to the 240D)
I will add that the bigger the breaker bar on your initial turn the better. On my 603 a regular 1/2" wrench wouldn't move the two mounting bolts as I think it was air ratcheted on by the last person. However my full sized breaker bar got them out like nothing.
