Hi guys!
I have a couple of questions having read through this, and now have my X5 jacked up with the wheel off etc...
1) How do you remove the driveshaft spindle from the gearbox? Are there any clips etc holding it in place, or does it just pull straight out? I have a slide hammer which will assist me, but don't want to start hammering it back if there's something that holds it in place?
2) When the driveshaft is popped out of the gearbox, does the gearbox leak oil and need to be topped up again after refitting? Or is it literally just a socket? I ask as I did this similar job on my Volvo V50 a while back and that leaks gearbox fluid from the hole and must be refilled!!!
3) I'm having trouble finding an INNER front CV gaitor at a sensible price. Outer, easy. Inner, not so. I bought one from Euro Car Parts which they state is inner
https://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/B...94ebe87&000445 However, looking inside it once it arrived did not have the three moulded parts around the inner edge that fit around the tripod. So I sent it back. But now I'm wondering if they make this oversized to completely emcompass the tripod joint??? Did the one you used have the three moulded parts on the inside edge to fit around the trpod?
Really need some help, and much appreciated!
