Crap crap crap.

One of the tranny cross member bolts just snapped off like butter when I used the breaker bar. I'm afraid somebody went crazy with an impact wrench and the other 3 might snap off as well. I just hit the outside of the bolts with liquid wrench (I should have used that in the beginning) but I dont know if it will help at all. I'm desperate for some help here!!!

OK I got the tranny crossmemeber bolts off but when I did I wasnt even sure if I was going about this the right way so I put them back and figured I will try a different way tomorrow. I think I'm going to try to remove the rear disc and then the front. Maybe after I remove the rear I can slide the drive shaft backwards a couple of inches to allow me to change out the front disc.

The disc bolts on are so tight and even when they come a little loose they are a pain to keep undoing. Is that normal? Also when you went to loosen your bolts did you use a box wrench in back on the nuts?

Maybe it's just me, but wouldn't it remove a certain amount of guesswork and suspense if you just used the FSM?

The online manual I have isnt very specific for this job/car but if you know of something that is I would really appreciate the heads up. Thanks in advance.

Slowly I'm making some progress. I got all 6 rear flex disc bolts off. Looks to be a Mercedes replacement part. I doubt it is original because it is in really good condition. Even with all 6 bolts out it seems stuck in there. Any hints on how to get it out after the bolts are removed?
