Just one point to clarify regarding the washers on the bolts. As you can see from your picture before disassembly the washer either go under the bolt if the bolt goes first through the flex disk to screw on to the lobe of the shaft or axle/tranny.
Conversely, the washer goes under the nut when the bolt goes first through the lobe of the shaft or axle/tranny. The washer always goes resting on the flex disk and not on the lobe of the shaft or axle/tranny.
Here are pics of your flex/shaft before dismantling and one of my own flex that I need to replace soon (thanks to your efforts, write and pics it will be a lot easier for me). BTW, there is 6 grams of pertinent grease to go on the centering sleeves.

Thanks for pointing that out ... I guess I only got if half wrong.  Now I have to decide whether to go in there and change the six that are on wrong. rs899 ... I know the nuts are self-locking, but I don't think they were nyloc. Can they be removed and refastened without losing their locking function?
