I’ve owned these 300’s for years. I changed my engine mounts 5 years ago & sure wish I’d seen this first. I’m afraid I need to change them again - I did not use the original equipment - I’ve done that on a few jobs and regretted it. Thanks for your good advice.
Thank you. I’d definitely recommend getting Lemforder engine mounts as they were the OEM supplier for MB. A lot of the other brands unfortunately don’t last nearly as long.
This is the best video that i have seen sofar for changing the engine mounts. I am changing mine and i had all sorts of questions, like where to the cover arrow point, how to remove the mini shocks as mine was turning. You have covered everything in detail and so well explained. Thank you for making such DIY inspirational videos. Regards, Sujit
We have a 1978 300D W123 and it has an engine stop part number: 123 240 03 65 which is just behind the oil pan. This means the chassis is lifted with the engine until that engine stop bracket is unbolted.
new (to me) shop looks great, wish I could be there to learn working on these! I now own an old(er) German car myself, a 23 year old BMW 320ci, not quite as vintage though 😉
thanks for this, wish i watched it before doing it. which offset reversible ratcheting wrench is that? and how did you mount a socket to it? with a hex to 1/4" square adapter?

Yes it’s a little bigger shop, so lots of room. That’s cool, you should send me some pictures of it! I bet it’s a lot faster than any of my cars.
Welcome back. Nice job.
Great job thank you

What Mercedes part #s did you use for those mounts?
What is the shield for? Can I leave it off for better acces sto the bolts?
Great video! What socket size is the motor mount?
8mm hex socket for the bigger one, usually 6mm hex for the 2 smaller ones
