there is a detailed post on the "dark side" NOT your model but principles the same. http://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/showthread.php?t=22816&highlight=engine+mountings GET some extra " muscle" help and be extremely careful-- lots of "heavy stuff "floating about I'm sure I've seen a description of an engine mount change on a W140 but can't locate it at the moment.

I know on a 500E it's a pain in the **** and quite fiddly.

So have a good look underneath and decide how you will do both before starting. It's more tricky than on the inline engines.
