Wow! What a detailed tutorial and you explain it in a way for everyone to understand! Seriously impressive!
Thanks for the kind words, I know nearly every Mercedes 15+ years old needs mounts done, glad I could help!
can possibly get another 250k miles out of my 04' S500, thanks to your attention to detail and excellent camera work. absolutely brilliant, thank you so much!
Thank you for making a $2,200 job cheep and easy!
Very good, excellent job. Your explanations are clear, and precise. The Camera shots are so clear the lighting are amazing. Job well done.
Comments like these make me want to make more videos! Appreciate the kind words, I was always afraid of this job because I couldn’t find a video that clearly showed the process, figured I’d make one myself!
Dude this video is amazing. I was incredibly intimidated to try this on my CL55. Shop quoted $1500 😂
So Glad u showed it could be done w.o. a lift. And u share the torque specs.
Ten outta ten keep up the good work, phenomenal video, got a m113 engine this was truly a video sent from the gates of heaven. #greatest mechanic on CZcams Axper bless 🙏🏽✌🏽
Greatest comment ever! Thank you, glad I was able to help!
Just completed my motor mounts and transmission mount. I had to replace my alternator so it was super easy to remove the right side passenger via the opening of the alternator. Also jacking up the motor makes it easy to remove the alternator as well. The left side driver side, if you jack the motor high enough and like you did lower the steering rack, the mount does go in easy taking off the rubber cover and then putting it back on. Really appreciate this tutorial and you save me time and money. All the best to you.
Super glad I was able to help!
How did you remove your alternator from the engine bay? I’m replacing mine too
Great video! Very helpful.
Great DIY thank you!!!
Excellent job!!
Hi Damian, great video! Very informative and im tackling this same project myself. One question though how did you get the rear steering bracket bolts loosened up since it sits deep in the subframe?
How was the range rover? I found the exact same model in black for 3.8k euros. As a first car it would be sick, I will only use it in the weekends and drive family around for groceries, casual stuff. Was it expensive to take care of for issues? Gas mileage is not a problem for me
Damian, very useful, and thank you for the level of detail provided. One quick question: when dropping the steering rack, did you have to uncouple the steering wheel link on the top? Thanks
I did not, you don’t have to and it’s one less thing to mess up when reassembling. I’m sure it would give you more room if you did.
More videos please! Thanks for your help
Got some more DIY’s coming soon!
I have a 2013 S65 AMG w221. With the turbos in the way I dont think I can jack up like you did and have enough room to hold the top 16mm nut of the engine mount. Another CZcamsr had to remove the air boxes and intercoolers on an S65
Love this video thank you
Glad I could help!
Good shitttttt. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
I am going to install these mounts in the near future. I can't follow your instructions for mount orientation because you say nothing about the metal tab in the top of the mount. Seems like there would only be one way to install the top of the mount as the tab needs to go in the corresponding opening in the frame. You say nothing about this tab? If I get the bolt in the top loosely I should be able to rotate the mount until I feel it fitting into the tab opening.
Comment?
Didn't you have to redo the wheels alignment since you've moved the steering rack?
Hello Damian - Thanks for sharing this tutorial. Nice to watch the wiki "alternative" method on video. On the steering rack, how have you kept the rear 18mm upper nuts from spinning? They're located deep inside the body frame channel and there's little room to insert any tool there... Michael, FL
I have this same question. I broke the initial lock but can’t do anything past that. My assumption is the use of the 1/2 inch impact gets past that need
@@jacobexplainsitall3504 Hello Jacob - The "author" of this repair process has never answered my question, which regards one of the most puzzling steps of it. The solution is to slip a 18mm flexible ratcheting wrench into the pockets (holes in the aluminum front axle carrier beam) located besides these steering rack attachment plate bolts. These pockets have been designed for that purpose. This way you'll be able to lock the upper nut. You could also use a torque wrench adapter, cut a cheap combination wrench or even weld a short handle to a short socket. This video is in fact a copy of the alternative (to the official WIS) method found on the wiki page dedicated to the Mercedes W220. All the best in your work. Michel

So your telling me there are holes 6 inches away, in the subframe, I can just slide in a wrench into without destroying my hand, in-line with the bolts? Or do I need to get my hand in above and push it down into that channel I could feel? A swiveling 18mm combination wrench would be probably 8”-12” long. Will it work or should I just immediately cut the thing down to a particular size?
@@jacobexplainsitall3504 A flexible ratcheting wrench can turn out to be a few inches long! If we're talking about a Mercedes W220, I gave you the right, confirmed by practice, way to do it.
Is that $100 electric fan you put in the e46 still running without issues?
Sold the car so I don’t know, but I didn’t have any issues whatsoever with that fan. All BMW’s after 2005 use a electric fan exactly like that.
What a champ!
Haha hope I helped!
It's even easier if you just remove the wheel liners. You don't have to do any of this. Just remove liners and jack up engine slightly.
Pretty sure that’s only on the 4Matic cars you can do, on RWD I don’t think there’s access behind the liner if I remember correctly.
Is this the same way for a 2005 e320?
Very similar
Do a tutorial on the 221 4Matic.
I'm looking for a W221, if I buy one ill make a video
Wow!!! Lifting on the oil pan???!!! I would NEVER suggest that!!!
Sure it didn't break thru this time but you are really taking a HUGE gamble!!!!
I wanted to show the cheapest way most people can do it, you can definitely use a engine hoist, but when you distribute the weight with wood evenly across the oil pan its perfectly safe to use a jack, did a bunch of research on this.
Torque specs??
What size is the top bolt
16mm

Pozdrawiam nawzajem!
Watch it at 2x: The music makes this an epic
Impossible to do. I finally gave up after 6 hours and put everything back together. Time to sell the car cause I’m not paying someone 2k to do this
