Anyone
Capable and with the proper tools and instructions can do the removal.
If he needs to ask it just means it is his first time and would like some ideas.With the proper procedure he can do it himself.It will take time I am sure,however he will get it done.

It would probably be less expensive and less of a headache to trade your C32 for another one with less mileage. Or just upgrade to C55, or even E55, the prices are really low for them right now...

Trust me with the deal I got on auction for this one with 15k miles (hit in the back) u wouldn't be trading in either. To be honest I am not going to be buying another Mercedes, I will keep this C32 for a while since their value is ****! I have always been bmw guy and still enjoy my E36 M3 more then this faster C32 AMG, sorry but looking at the fall of value of E55s; u are going to able to buy one for 20k in a year or so
Not a case with m cars or Audi S lines. So if I was thinking about trading it in; it would be for E39 m5 or S4. But for now I have this almost brand new engine that I need to put in and having some trouble on where to start on taking the old one out.

The BMW’s and Audi’s are always much easier.
Your MB will look like this when you’re about half-way through:

There’s essentially nothing to it.

C32/C55 AMG
Looks like he did the engine swap after all. How did every thing go? I hope every thing is problem free.
If any one is looking for a c32 engine and transmission he's selling his pretty cheap including the wiring harness and computer.

Yes I paid the guy to take it out and it was really easy; took him 4 hours all together problem free. Engine just sold last night. The guy that took it out charged me a lot (1000$) but after I saw how easy it was I could have done it myself, I did a Honda swap back in a day B18c integra engine in to CRX and it was way harder to take out

yeap, all u need is the tools. release the 3 mounting , gearbox/engine, unscrew the longshaft from the coupling, take out the exhaust so it don't block, take out the wiring connectors, radiator hose bla bla, poop it comes out.
