I will have the back end up and the wheels off for the brakes so it will be no problem.....
Re: check your flex disks!!
I am swapping my custom drive-shaft I built during my swap to a standard one piece U-joint shaft. You could use the adapter plate or yokes found here and eliminate the flex discs completely.
FYI- mercedes drive shaft adapter
Update!!! These will not work!!!! The center bore is correct but the bolt hole circles are wrong

I see one of the bolts on the diff yoke had come loose by looking at the top hole being oval and rusty. There must have been some serious power to cause the pilot bushing to fail. IMO, there should have been some vibration prior to failure
