diesel motor mount install kit.

This kit will work on all 115, 116, 123 and 126 chassis diesels from 1969 to 1987. Almost every old Mercedes diesel I see needs to have the motor mounts changed. If you have a mechanic do it for you it was cost an arm and a leg. If you try to do it yourself without these instructions and special tool you might go crazy. Common symptoms of bad rubber mounts are lots of engine shake, rough engine noise, clanking when you shut down - and if you don't change the mounts soon enough you will end up with all kinds of other problems: These include cracked exhaust manifolds, broken header pipes, broken air cleaner mounts, loose manifolds, loose pulleys and engine accessories, and possible broken or cracked torque converter flex plate.

That's right - all that excess vibration from collapsed motor mounts can lead to a whole bunch of other expensive problems - and I have seen them all. This kit will help you install motor mounts yourself with minimal time and hassle. The MOTOR MOUNTS themselves are NOT included. You are purchasing my instructions and the special tool I have devised to get the motor mounts on and off the sub-frame while working under your car. The motor mounts are specific to your year and model. PLEASE NOTE:  If you are also purchasing motors the instruction sheets are the same and only one set of instructions will be shipped.

Along with this tool you will also need a good 8 mm hex socket to change mounts.

Mercedes 123 126 Chassis H.D. Hex Socket for Motor Mount Removal

1/2 inch drive 8 mm long hex socket

Removing the front rubber engine mounts requires getting under the car and going up inside a hole in the subframe to remove the main bolt. And it can be a bear! I don't know who they hired to tighten these at the factory but he must have been a brute. These hex bolts are usually in very tight and you will need a heavy, strong and tight fitting 8 mm hex socket. Only 1/2 inch drive will do. You don't want to break off the tip nor do you want to deal with a rounded out hex under way up inside that channel... Talk about a big wrench dance...
