I am about to replace both flex discs, center drive shaft bearing etc. Any thoughts on replacing both drive shaft bushings ? should I look at the contact surface and look for uneven wear ? They are cheap enough so I will probably go ahead and do it all. How hard are they to remove and or how to remove ?
Thanks
Alan

The bushings aren't that hard to replace. They do need to be drilled from the side to be able to insert a steel rod so that a pry bar can be applied to pull them out. If the inner surface is clean and the seal intact, I'd be inclined to reuse them. They're just used for centering and there is essentially no wear in use.

Here's a good link - 300td Hidden Driveshaft Seal Question

If you are speaking of the Bushings that center the Disc they are $50 + something each. To me that is not cheap.

I think I paid $24, but then I didn't have much of a choice...
