I guess I was lucky - my 91 300D motor mounts changed fairly easily.
True i had to work from underneath to RR the center bolt, and getting
to the bolts on the top required some gymnastics but many tasks have
been worse. the best part was the HUGE improvement in the way the
engine was held
Wow! makes me glad to have the diesel engine.

Just done them on my 300TE, to do the right one you have to take the
fuel distributor assembly off.

The diesel on a W124 is just as much of a PITA -- really only possible
to get to the right side from underneath, and even then it's a pain.
Usually have to jack up the M103 to get access to the left one (US
driver's side) when they have gone flat.
Never helps when a gorilla has tightened
On the M103 you also have to lift off centre, otherwise the exhaust will
cause the engine to tilt, best done at the rear of the engine.

Had some fun this morning. Put motor mounts in one of my 83 300D
sedans. Took almost two hours. I can't believe it! I am getting
so slow. That should have taken less then an hour. I do wish the
left mount was as easy to do as the right. Oh well it's done and
a lot quieter then it was so all in
