Flex discs won't bulge! 190E 2.3
I'm trying to remove the driveshaft in order to do the center bearing. I loosened the center nut and removed the 2 screws on the bearing carrier, as well as the 3 bolts holding the driveshaft to the discs on the diff and the transmission. Even if I'm pulling on the shaft to drop it, it still won't get free from the discs. The discs just flex and the shaft moves along. I cannot use the telescopic feature of the driveshaft because that just deflects the discs also. I tried prying the shaft off the discs but that also just makes the discs move. Its like if the shaft welded itself on the discs. Now I'm scared to damage the discs and I really don't feel like spending 250$ on 2 discs and having to wait a week to get them because of a stupid mistake. Any special trick to help me?
