So my plan is to swing the hub/knuckle assembly out away from the axle once it is off the axle splines, and then do the boot swap with the axle still installed into the transaxle.

Any suggestions on which hub puller will work on the X5?
did u disconnect the tierod and lower idler arm so the spindle was free to move around? If u did it should have come out. if not it wont have the slack to come out.
