Same problem I had. Couldn't get the outer CV back on. The snap ring just would not cooperate. Also, if you have the boot off and move the CV just the wrong way the bearings fall out and then you have puzzle getting it back together.

As far as the the X5 today - she got a new AUC sensor. I got sick of looking at that code and broke down and ordered a new one from FCP when I was on their site restocking door push fasteners and various rivets, blind and otherwise for the wheel wells, cowl, interior bits, etc. Popped it in, cleared the code, ran some tests and voila, the X5 is as clear of codes as it has been in 10 years. A transitory state I'm sure. The only one I have is the 4.6 only code for the vacuum activated extra intake flap which opens at high RPM. I wonder if I am loosing any real power without that function operating? I've still got my 4.4 intake tract, filter box, etc. and all the air pump hardware is gone and coded out (this same system triggers the intake flap on the 4.6 models).

try silicone spray for rubber
WD-40 has a different spray for rubber WD-40 Specialist® Silicone Lubricant. I've used regular WD-40 on doorseals and the like, and I think that they get dried-out over time. The petroleum distillates/penetrants may tend to remove the natural oils in the rubber. I'm also wary of Armor All (due to my old S-10 dashcover cracking, despite weekly usage of Armor All for 10 years).

fresh alignment and trunk lid hatch, luckily for the 2004 3.0i all I needed to do was unscrew 4 screws and now the rear lock hatch works great, initially the trunk was only opening via the dash and key fob
added some LED bright white license plates lights with it too replaced intake boot, noticed a minor whistling at 1.5 RPM's inside the cabin, easy cheap fix, no more annoying whistle ![]()

Shocks, brake upgrades. The disks are massive... calipers don't clear the original 19" wheels. The 20"-s are currently due to being re-coated.

Whoa. What brakes are those?
