Engine Mount on 98 E320

I know someone had asked me on this before.
I did replaced mine just last weekend and it took me 2 1/2 hours or so to do the passenger side only. It was so hard and tigh working under the car. I didn't dis assemble anything around the engine mount since I have just enough space to get to it. I managed to replaced the passenger side mount.
Yes, you gotta jack the engine/motor up a little to loosen the engine mounts.

Now, when I'm about to do the driver side. BTW, there's no room from the top of the engine not unless you start taking parts out what evers on the way.
I looked under and I said S***!!! how am I suppose to get the mount out after un bolting the bolts. There's no room at all. To make the story short
I brought the car to the experts and he charged me $120 labor for the driver side mount. I got my engine mounts through friend from SF Autoparts. $124.52 pair whole sale price. Part# 202-240-36-17 by BOGE.

I will post the pictures of the old engine mounts later. Mounts were totally gone.

I think engine mounts on straight 6 are easier to replace than on V6.

Vibrations GONE. It is so nice quite and smooth again.

Yup, fawk it, have the stealer do it. I'm decent with the wrenches, but for $200 labor - that's a bargain. Mine was $400 for factory mounts and labor.

Cheers.
