I did an inspection on my 1997 C280(76,000 miles) before I bought it and was told that I would need to change the flex disc eventually. I take such things serious and would like to change it sooner than later. can somebody point me to a link or some info on how to change it myself or the cost of having a benz mechanic fix it?

any info is apprciated.

do a search (search function button at the page header) for flex disc

thanks

Here is the best links I can find at the moment.
I had a good DIY written, however it was in a thread by a member who was deleted.

If anyone has any tips for replacing the flex disc please let me know... i know mine needs to be changed so i have a replacement and am going to try to change it this weekend.

but it's always better to have some advice to go off of

It may be worth your time to just have a shop that knows MBZ to do the job. Rather than having to find all the tools required to replace the flex disc, like finding a 46mm wrench or a 42mm wrench. It should not be more than a two hour job, and you should be able to supply your own part. Of course, I wouldn't bring my own steak to a restaurant.
