Turned out they undo the INNER CV Joint to replace both boots.
I plan to remove the axle from the X5 for a proper cleaning and rebrease/reboot.
The Q is: is it easy to undo the E53 X5 INNER Tripod?
PS: In the 2004-2009 Volvo S60, it is virtually impossible to undo the INNER Tripod bc the stake-in is very hrad to remove.

Do you mean doing it in situ without removing the drive shaft? If you're trying to pull the tripod out of the cup you would still have to remove other parts to pull the hub on the side. And putting the inner joint back together in situ would be a bit difficult because the grease on tripod is guite liquid, more like oil. The tripod part is quite hard to remove from the axle. I would say you need a suitable puller for it. When I had my shaft apart it was much easier to remove the outer joint than trying to remove the tripod from the axle.
