Might be able to get numbers 1 or 2 but nothing after that with as much
or more work required vs removing the engine. 0n a W108 (69 280S) in
a galaxy long long ago, I disconnected the motor mounts and removed the
lower oil pan then the Oil Pump. I raised the engine and removed the
oil pan. I could probably do all this faster by removing the engine
but at the time I didn't have that option - for some reason I don't recall.
I haven't tried this on a newer MB.
But I can say laying on a cold concrete floor is something I will never
do again! tried that a few weeks ago when working on my 66MGB and after
20 minutes I was almost unable to stand up! Seems the muscles do odd
things when very cold.... ;-|

91 300D (the perfect MB IMO)

You sure about that? I have not seen a MB that you could pull the
pan with the engine in the car. Thus the small steel lower pan on OM
621 and OM61x engines to allow access to the oil pump and the #1 rod.
Now that you mention it, I am not sure about that. I forgot about the
difficulty of removing the pan in Benzes.
