No, discard both gear and flywheel -- likely the loose ring gear has
worn enough spinning that it won't fit again. They aren't expensive.
Crank, flywheel, and balancer are balanced as a unit on MB engines
before the early 80's -- I've been told by a good source that later
ones are balanced

Yeah -- they aren't too bad.
You MUST control the spring -- easy way is to put a jack stand under
the control arm and set the car down on it. Otherwise, you must use a
