Driveshaft flex disc swap
Evening.
I need to swap out the flexible (rubber) driveshaft disc, part no. 1264100215, on my w111. Part is no. 213 on this page. I was wondering whether I need to do anything funky such as remove the prop centre bearing/drop the exhaust etc before it can be swapped out. It looks simple enough but if there are any tips I'd be grateful, thanks. Dave

Quote:
Once centre nut is undone you can slide the propshaft a bit once the flex disc bolts are out. This helps you to "bend" the shaft and pull it away from the underside of the car. Before the bending - mark the position of the propshaft. Vehicles from about the mid 1970s have factory marks - again I don't know about your vehicle. As always is it best to get a copy of the FSM The flex discs often have instructions molded into them in German saying which way round they go. In the W123 FSM there's a warning about not letting the bolts spin when doing up / undoing ######## I always apply a wafer thin smear of anti-seize on the fit only once stiff nuts (not approved FSM procedure) but it helps getting them off again. Seems like a good time to assess the condition of the propshaft splines - perhaps clean them out and regrease
