How To Replace ENGINE MOUNTS on a Mercedes S-Class W220 in ONE HOUR for $150! (EASY DIY NO BS WAY!) 

Are you in NJ?

Thanks for the kind words, I know nearly every Mercedes 15+ years old needs mounts done, glad I could help!

Comments like these make me want to make more videos! Appreciate the kind words, I was always afraid of this job because I couldn’t find a video that clearly showed the process, figured I’d make one myself!

Greatest comment ever! Thank you, glad I was able to help!

Super glad I was able to help!

How did you remove your alternator from the engine bay? I’m replacing mine too

Glad I could help!

Got some more DIY’s coming soon!

I did not, you don’t have to and it’s one less thing to mess up when reassembling. I’m sure it would give you more room if you did.

Glad I could help!

Haha hope I helped!

I have this same question. I broke the initial lock but can’t do anything past that. My assumption is the use of the 1/2 inch impact gets past that need

@@jacobexplainsitall3504 Hello Jacob - The "author" of this repair process has never answered my question, which regards one of the most puzzling steps of it. The solution is to slip a 18mm flexible ratcheting wrench into the pockets (holes in the aluminum front axle carrier beam) located besides these steering rack attachment plate bolts. These pockets have been designed for that purpose. This way you'll be able to lock the upper nut. You could also use a torque wrench adapter, cut a cheap combination wrench or even weld a short handle to a short socket. This video is in fact a copy of the alternative (to the official WIS) method found on the wiki page dedicated to the Mercedes W220. All the best in your work. Michel

@@michelcroteau538 @michelcroteau538 So your telling me there are holes 6 inches away, in the subframe, I can just slide in a wrench into without destroying my hand, in-line with the bolts? Or do I need to get my hand in above and push it down into that channel I could feel? A swiveling 18mm combination wrench would be probably 8”-12” long. Will it work or should I just immediately cut the thing down to a particular size?

@@jacobexplainsitall3504 A flexible ratcheting wrench can turn out to be a few inches long! If we're talking about a Mercedes W220, I gave you the right, confirmed by practice, way to do it.

Pozdrawiam nawzajem!

I'm looking for a W221, if I buy one ill make a video

Pretty sure that’s only on the 4Matic cars you can do, on RWD I don’t think there’s access behind the liner if I remember correctly.

Sold the car so I don’t know, but I didn’t have any issues whatsoever with that fan. All BMW’s after 2005 use a electric fan exactly like that.

I wanted to show the cheapest way most people can do it, you can definitely use a engine hoist, but when you distribute the weight with wood evenly across the oil pan its perfectly safe to use a jack, did a bunch of research on this.

Very similar
