Good to "see" a familiar face .

Yeah, done my E53 axles a couple of times (180k miles, still have it, bought it new). Those are pretty easy.

Had to stop and order an axle puller/press tool, the halfshaft is stuck in the hub and won't push out. Looking at the E70 design, there's a control arm right under the halfshaft, with a bushing on the inner end, ball joint on the outer. I'm thinking that's going to be a problem.
