Hi
I got an SES code yesterday on my 06 X5 3.found out that the ribbed boot elbow on the part below (#8) is cracked. Suprisingly it is not covered by CPO. oh well.

So I bought the part for $16 (dealer wanted $40 + $200 to install), and now I realize it's harder than it looks.

There are three clamps holding it in place. One is pretty easy to get to from above, but I can't see what needs to come off to get to the other 2.

Anyone have any ideas, please...

and Thanks
Ed
