When you get the new mounts, you will find that it is pretty straight forward. There is one bolt from the bottom and I believe, two from the top. (Note: you do not need to remove the "arm" portion from the side of the engine.) Also, there is a left and right difference in the mounts.

As Sam stated, it is pretty straightforward and if you are contemplating doing the job yourself I assume you have the expertise so you should see how to do it once you look at the mounts.
You will need a jack low enough to get under the engine, such as a floor jack, and either a block to hold the engine up or a block so the jack cannot depress. You only need a small amount of engine lift to get the mounts out and the engine will not fall out, but the jacking will take the pressure off the mounts to facilitate slipping out the old one and the new one in.

8mm allen on the bottom, 17mm socket for the top. 10mm, iirc, to hold the heat shield on the exhaust side. The tranny mount will hold the engine 'in place' when you jack it up, so the new mounts should align pretty well...I've had best luck just starting the top bolts first, lowering until there's barely pressure on the cross member, then fitting the bottom bolts.
One thing you might want to do is spray around a little with some simple green and then rinse with a pressure nozzle...it gets pretty greasy down there!

This THREAD was very timely...
... for I'm getting ready to do engine mounts on my in-law's W126 [1985 300SD] which has the two side engine mounts and ONLY the one other mount on the rear of the tranny.
Q - Does anyone have input at to any differences in doing this job on a W126 chassis? Thanks,
