This CV Joint Removal Tool used to cost $100 or so.
Now it is
$20 on ebay with FREE shipping!
If you go to ebay and youtube and enter search terms "CV Joint Tool", you will see it.
The photo shows the "100-mm" tool, can someone confirm that this tool works for X5 axle?
This tool makes CV Joint work painless, no need for Vise, hammer, punch etc.
Of course you still have to spread the "C-clip" but that is all you have to do.
