Yes, but I don't remember that any particular tricks
were necessary. A pair of pipe wrenches may or may not
have been involved. (This was before I started keeping
good notes.) I know that I did NOT remove either the
diff or the tranny. Pipe wrenches do come in various
sizes. Ob
Mine was loose enough to slip without turning the nut. In fact, the 90 124
is the only car so far that I needed to loosen that nut to slip the drive
shaft back. I also could not get it loose in the car, and had to pry the
shaft out, then loosened it with two pipe wrenches and two long pieces of

Hmmm Strap wrench might work if the nut is not too tight.
I sure prefer working on Diesels. 110 is still the easiest to work on,

Have you unclamped the front drive shaft? There is a very large
clamp nut under the rubber boot just in front of the carrier
bearing. We use two pipe wrenches. Once loose, the front part of
the driveshaft will slide back into the rear half enough to let you
take the flex disk out.

Following up on my earlier post. I have the car on jackstands, and have
