Just thought Id let you guys know.

I fitted new engine mounts on my SLK320 and it was a big pain but it is do-able. For people that know their way around cars Id rate it 6/10 hardness.

If your not handly with cars stay away from this task for sure, let a mechanic handle it.

The drivers side was much easier than passenger!! :p

You mean left side was easier:D
My drivers side ones were a pain (right side) but by using a short spanner bit by bit on the top nut it was OK.

Well, thats good to know seeing that I need to change the motor and transmition mounts too. I guess I'll just eat the 500 dollars at the stealership and leave it for the pros:crybaby2:. Thank God I didn't order the mounts yet.

I see what your saying, I dunno what it was, it was probably because i hit the driver side last and was probably warmed up by then, I didnt drop the rachet wrench once! :p

I had to take out a couple things out of the way to hit the passenger side from the top, thats why I think it was a longer task.

Just had mine done at the dealer = $663.25
Extended warranty paid $577.50
Me the difference.

When you're ready to flip the PSE maybe we can do them together!
Let me know...:)
It cost me $100 for the pair off ebay shipping included.

Yes, I have to get on top of the alarm issue also. Lets get it done! Let me know when you wanna work on it.

When you say extended warranty paid, you mean you burned only $90 right? Not bad.
