Well, that depends. I recently replaced both flex disks and the center
bearing/mount on the SLC - and there was nothing visibly wrong other
than some cracks in the bearing mount rubber. However, I believed all
of them to be original - 1978 - and since I've just re-built the
engine, I figured it

Really hard to say how old. The rear is toast, the front flex disk
looks ok, and the bearing is looking good as well. I was more
interested in how simple it would be to do the whole job versus only
doing the bad disk. Is it a real pain to do it all, or a minor
irritation such that I would
I vote for doing it all at once. I seem to remember having to drop the
exhaust - then it's not that hard to do the rest - assuming the center
nut isn't seized along with the slip joint. My slip joints have all
slid just fine without touching the nut, so I don't have any words of
wisdom there. You
Really sounded like I had blown out the exhaust and was having flaming

I was stupid and lucky.
Drove about 85 miles with it like that at highway speeds. Got home and
took a peek to see if the muffler was busted since the noise was on

Not quite all shredded, but on the way.
