Wow, I'll have to start looking into this again.... of course most of the cars I buy are dead and out of inspection.

Tried to pick it up yesterday but ran into a snag. I could not detach the driveshaft from the diff. I undid all six bolts but I can't get it to move. Tried prying but won't come out. Is there something else I have to loosen/remove to detach it from the diff?

bought a 300sd from a guy in glocester point virginia. a friend and i towed it on a dolly to my home at the back bottom of suffolk va. drove it on the dolly, put it neutral and left the drive shaft alone. did about 45 -55 on the highway. stopped about half way back (chesapeake sqr to be exact) to check straps and eat. had to pull over on 58 because driver was having cramps in leg with recent knee replacement. in his pain he ran us thru a big pot hole on side of road. no damage. bumpers never dragged. didn't bounce into gear.

over all no problems to date with car. total trip 67 miles. take it slow and you should have no problems.

You where not violent enough.

The flex Disc bosses are just stuck in the flange.

Hmm... I was able to seperate it from the flange, but it seems there is pinion shaft that sticks out of the diff and into the driveshaft flange. I could not move it back far enough with the prybar to get it off so I could tie it out of the way...

So there is nothing else to loosen/take off? Just use a bigger prybar??

Yes.
If the flex Disc is separated from the differential flange, use a Bigger pry bar (or two) to pop the guide point off the differential finger.
