Re: [diesel_mercedes] Driveshaft question.

Lawrence, I feel your pain.  Your difficulties removing the driveshaft brought back a flood of memories form when I removed the transmission from my 77 330D, just over a year ago.

 

I ended up disconnecting the drive shaft at both ends, and removing the two bolts that secure the center carrier bearing.  I was then able to drop the driveshaft down at the rear differential, and pull the whole assembly back just enough to get the rubber doughnut off the transmission.  Oh, I had also already removed the transmission cross-mount, and the rear of the transmission was dropped down.  It took a fair amount of prying at the yolk, wiggling the drive shaft and jiggling the transmission to get ths shaft to seperate from the it.

On a 77 240D. Lets say the driveshaft center bearing is bad. How to get it
out without removing the motor/transmission or rear differential? Lawrence
