Haha, Awesome! that's exactly what I was thinking!

I'm more of a "buy the tool" guy though, I don't like to rent. Maybe someone could make a batch of those for sale

While we are talking about front axle, is there a slide hammer adapter that will fit the slots in the inner joint to pull the shaft? I know there is such a thing for other vehicles but wondering if it's the right size and if it works for the E53 ?
