I've got to replace the mounts on one of the SDs. I vaguely recall you
have to put a jack under the oil pan or somewhere to lift it a bit, then
do something to get the old ones out and the new in. Any memories of
that job, anyone? I have a pair in the garage somewhere that came with
the other SD that seems OK for now.

Just finished this job, second time I’ve done it, first time was on the S500
coupe, this time on the 1994 S420.
I bought the special offset wrench for removing the top mount bolt, as it’s
buried under the manifolds. Best $15 I ever spent for a special tool for this
job. It made it go much faster. I did the passenger (easy) side in about 20
minutes, the driver’s side (difficult) in about 40.
Now I’m heading back out to put the transmission mount in. Pretty easy job on the
W140. I’m getting the nasty stuff out of the way early today, then it’s time to
spend sorting out the pneumatics. Tomorrow it will be R&R of the right front
caliper on the oldest boy’s 98 S420. It’s got a stuck piston. I’ve got a reman
caliper waiting in the wings for it.
