So is the general consensus that its 'ok' to drive it with a stretched chain for a while? Could someone do a DIY for this without removing the transfer case from the car? I'm about to purchase a 3.0 MT5 that I believe to have this issue.

Guys, what is the torque for the E12 torx bolts on the transfer case and what was supposed to be on the shaft splines, grease or NeverSeez that it is an anti seize & lubricating compound?
It doesn't look like the original stuf is only grease.

Guys, quite a few of you opened the transfer case already. What is the torque for these bolts so I can finish the job. I couldn't find this info anywhere but I went by the size and figured that 30NM is good enough. Can you please post what torque you used for the transfer case bolts?

Having trouble getting the rear driveshaft out. Any tips? Nuts are off on both ends... Do I then drop the CSB? Then I pry from the rear? I'm not finding any write ups on this step. Thanks.

I haven't pulled the DS from an X5, but on every other BMW I've done it on, it's necessary to drop the CSB first. Usually there's a centering pin that goes into the transmission's output shaft that's too long to let it come down without the slack in the shaft that comes with dropping the CSB.

If i remember right this is what i did.
Obviously you unbolted it from both sides and the middle support. You have to push it towards the back back to be able to release the rear drive shaft from the TC first. Then you can pull it forward to detach the shaft from the rear differential. The constant velocity joint is pretty tight but push it slowly all around on the bolts and it should come off.
