W126 Mercedes-Benz 300SD - How to Replace Engine Mounts and Shocks on an OM617 Turbo Diesel

#impalamansgarage1
In this video I go through the complete process of replacing the
engine mounts and shocks on an OM617 turbo diesel in a W126 300SD.

Notes:
Yes you can easily get to the top of the passenger side mount from the engine bay. However due to the fact that things just don't line up in the universe the way folks think they ought to, you'd be crawling around on the ground and hauling yourself over into the engine bay a 1000 times. I'm not going to do that. Installing bolts from a blind spot while standing UNDER a car is preferable.

EGR: Note that the EGR vacuum throttle switch on the valve cover has been removed and the EGR vacuum lines are capped at the EGR valve. I plan to remove it.
