It should snap in pretty snugly right,,,,,not just "sort of be splined up?" Also, when are you guys doing the rubber mallet hits? Should he hub already be back in place? Or is it best to just work the cv joint, get it fully seated, and then add the hub? Right now I but the hub and all linkage on "finger tight" just so I remember were everything goes. I have done axle services in the past, never had trouble getting them to re-seat...but never did them on a X5 either....

I had the exact same problem about 3-4 years ago when I tried this procedure. I ended up taking it to a shop very carefully as it was my wife's daily at the time and I didn't have the time to continue to fiddle with it. I'd think it was in place but as soon as I drove it I'd get a big "pop/crack" from the axle. Scary sounds. I did the disassembly procedure to take care of the other axle. Not the "factory" procedure but the one where you remove the shock mounts, rotate and push the axle out with a rented puller. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I almost tried this '30 minute' boot fix. But after reading this thread about how many users were having difficulty with it I lost my nerve. After seeing how dirt cheap aftermarket axles were at the chain stores, I decided to just replace both axle assemblies. It is now over two months later and so far so good. No vibrations either.
I kept my old axles and will likely reboot them at my leisure in case one of these new axles fail in any way. |

This is the hardest part, everything else is easy on this approach.

On the outer joint (CV) you can also pinch the clip a little as it enters the CV socket and it pops on in. I don't think you can do this on the inner joint.
