Hi, am about to buy 2nd Benz ('89 300 TE) and the differential mounts have come up as something that will need replacing in the future (they are fine, but showing some wear). Also, retractable antenna only partially retracts.

Anyone care to comment on difficulty in these fixes/estimated cost?

Thanks in advance...

You need the differential out to replace the bushes, so a hoist is a must.

There is a special tool for pressing the old ones out and the new ones in, but you can get them out and in with a hammer and screwdriver and plenty of elbow grease.
