You just need to be able to move the steering shaft aft about an inch or two...which is essentially everything you need to do to remove the steering shaft.

Some people have reported being able to loosen the Allen bolts from inside the car. I didn't see that as much help when I did mine.

Here's a good link - http://www.benzworld.org/forums/r-c107-sl-slc-class/1504056-steering-coupler-replacement-380sl-without-removing.html
