quick answer : yes

passenger side is easy...

driver's side requires some contorting of body and tools.

do a search... it's fairly straightforward.

you may consider doing the transmission mount at the same time

The first few dozen times it's a pain in the a$$. After that it gets easier.

Sonny, remove the radiator cowling and jack up the engine slightly after removing the engine mount bolts to the frame. I found it easier to remove/replace the engine mounts by removing the engine bracket/mount in one piece and bolting the new engine mount to the bracket before reattaching the engine bracket. As mentioned the driver's side is a real bear. It tests your patience and perseverance.

I was able to do the driver's side by using a long 3/8" extension thru the manifold. Seems like I tried everything else first with no success.

no problem if you can get enough torque on it to loosen the bolts..that's what the problem is on the drivers side

I did it on my 91 300E

Soak the bolts with penetrating fluid overnight

Did my 300TE, used a block of wood across the oil pan as a lifting point, once done it made a difference in vehicle noise inside.
