The 107 is a little different than described above; I would check that forum specifically.
It is an extremely good idea to loosen the fan shroud before doing this (and, of course, reinstall it properly before starting the engine!). Note that dimensions of clearance between the fan and shroud will have to be rechecked after the mounts are done (proper dimensions from the shop manual, on a 560sl:top of shroud to fan: 20mm, bottom of shroud:15mm). Mine noticeably changed after doing this work and I had to move the shroud a few notches under the clips. Breaking the shroud: fairly expensive. Breaking a fan blade: really expensive. Damaging the fan clutch: really, really expensive. Overheating: don't even want to discuss it.
Lowering the frame was much easier with the motor mount loosened.
