Really? The workshop manual on the CD from MB says 3.0 mkp.

EDIT: The rear clamp nut on a 3pc driveshaft is indeed 20.0 mkp. But this a 108.018, I only have a 2pc driveshaft. Still can't budge the nut, though.

As to marking it...as I'm replacing the transmission, what am I marking it relative to?
