C320 or C240 engine mount replacement
I'm looking to change my engine mounts as they are causing vibrations through the chassis.
I have done the rear mount and it was very, very easy and took less than 30 mins.
The front mounts however look far more tricky. My problem is I don't want to touch the exhaust as the bolts look badly corroded and its going to turn into a nightmare. I understand that's the conventional way of doing it but there must be another way.
Is there a way to do this job without removing the front exhaust connecting to the manifolds? If I remove the AC compressor and alternator can I do it like this?
I understand on some engine it can be done but I haven't heard any confirmations on the M112 engine.
If anyone has pictures, instructions or a link to a DIY it would be very much appreciated.

Have a look at the PDFs I attached.

Hello - i need to change my motor mount and trans mount on a 2004 c240 4Matic wagon with 120k miles. getting vibration etc.
I've searched the forums and youtube and not found specifics on how hard this is to do on the c240 4matic.... this guy changed the passenger side easily, but no input about difficulty to do the driver side.
anyone have a DIY on changing mounts for the c240/c320 4MATIC??? Thanks in advance.
