Once it was in two pieces, the top of the flex disc was easy to access.
So my question is... What is the point of the giant nut on the center driveshaft? I thought it was to keep the two pieces from coming apart?

to unlock the shifter you can pop out the linkage shaft and move the manual valve lever on the transmission by hand. You need to anyway to remove trans from car.
the gland nut is there to provide a friction on the spline joint as its not a wildly moving part and the spline joint on MB is split, Tighten to about 20 lb/ft - which aint that tight for that large of a nut.
