Hi Folks,
I am in the middle of replacing my Flex Joints (GUIBO) on my 2015 GLK350.
-Unit at Transmission end (front) was easy to remove (Driveshaft slid towards rear, no problem).
-Unit at Differential end (rear) is proving "very difficult" (impossible) to remove (Driveshaft does not slide towards front).
I have just learned the driveshaft in this vehicle looks as shown below, with U-Joint in the aftt section of the assembly.
Has anyone worked through the replacement of the Flex Joints already?
Does the support bearing bracket at the center of the Driveshaft absolutelly need to be unmounted in order to make enough space for the rear Flex Joint (@Differential) to be removed?
Thanks!
