i'm trying to remove the driveshaft of my 240D to replace the carrier bearing and flex discs. i'm stuck on the sleeve nut. i have the right wrenches, but they're way too big to use with any sort of efficiency with the lack of space underneath the car.
would it be possible to remove the driveshaft without disengaging the sleeve nut?
