flex disk removal
I've looked, but haven't seen any info on specifically removing flex disks. Is it as simple as undoing the bolts and dropping the driveshaft, or will I be running into something else?
1980 300sd turbo, w116. Thanks.

In the center of the driveshaft there is a part that goes about 1" into the flex joint.

Just make sure you mark the driveshaft connections so that it goes back exactly as it came off.

Have a good pry bar handy. The discs are sometimes stuck to the flanges of the trans/differential.

^^ meaning DO NOT "clock" the parts. re-assemble them relative to each other. mark the shaft at dead bottom-ie; 6oclock, and the rear flange at dead bottom, ie; 6 oclock. reassemble the same way. other wise you will likely develope a vibration.

can someone explain how not reassembling the driveshafts as they were, could cause a vibration? my car came with new flex discs installed and a driveshaft in the trunk. i didnt notice it when i bought it, or else i would have asked, but im wondering if someone replaced something under there and thats why i have a spare shaft now. i ask this because i get a vibration at all speeds. start to feel it around 30+. it feels more engine based than rotational/drivetrain, since it will actually increase with throttle, even before the car accelerates from that increase in throttle. i'd like to rule out things before i change engine mounts and engine shock.

it sounds like you did isolate things pretty well with your description. I would start with the engine shocks and see if it makes a difference. if it improves, but not eliminates, then go in for the mounts.
