[MBZ] 1982 240D motor/engine mount replacement

Hello everyone. I decided to tackle the engine mounts on Hildegard. It took a bit of persuasion to get the passenger’s side lower bolt loose, but after a little “rattle wrench” action and some more ratcheting, it broke loose! Then, I was able to jack up the engine and remove the heat shields

That is so sad.   Glad we got to see seattle in 1993, when we shipped cars there to avoid lost angels.    Unfortunately, I'd guess Port of LA may now be safer to pick up a car in, or to ship one out.  What we saw in May was certainly not scary.   That was the san pedro part, to see the BB-61.
