The Metal Tubes in the Flex Disc get pressed into recesses and I guess rusted in. My rear one also took a lot of prying to beak them Loose.


Careful not to damage those centering Bearings.

I guess no one Torques that 46mm Shaft Nuts! Before tighten that Nut there is aproceedure where you roll that car back and forth to center the shaft on the splines before you tighten it.

I had trouble with that because My Wrench was long and I could not squeeze under the Car easily while it sat on the Ground.
