1985 300D Drive shaft repair

Submitted by Matt Urich on 6 June 2007 - 7:27pm.
Working on my first Mercedes here and I'm going throught the drive train and replacing everything that I can so I don't wind up on the side of the road somewhere with my thumb out. My flex plates seem to be in fine shape, but I'm not sure about the center bearing. Thinking I'd like to replace it, but not sure how to go about getting it off and getting a new one on Also, anybody have any thoughts on how long the universal joints on these cars last ? Mine seems OK but I've got 222K miles on this one. 1985 300D. Matt

Hi Matt, many of our product and kit descriptions may contain information and tips on what is required to troubleshoot or replace a specific part. This is true with most of our driveline products. CLICK HERE to read more.

We also have good used drivelines if your universal is wasted. Kent
