Ok, I will give it a try, I was trying to turn it one spline at a time but surely didn't go a full 360, prolly not even a 180...
It should snap in pretty snugly right,,,,,not just "sort of be splined up?"
Also, when are you guys doing the rubber mallet hits? Should he hub already be back in place? Or is it best to just work the cv joint, get it fully seated, and then add the hub?
Right now I but the hub and all linkage on "finger tight" just so I remember were everything goes.
I have done axle services in the past, never had trouble getting them to re-seat...but never did them on a X5 either....
