I wish... I couldn't locate one last month, and I even
tried Dorman, who makes these for every other car on the planet except ours.
Now that I did the job, though, it's not that bad. You just need to pop out the axle- see the search section on this. Just use like a 5 lb hammer...you'll see what I mean.

Yes, I saw an exellent DIY on replacing the CV boot and doing a proper job. But this guy - first post
http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...placement.html claims that he has a split boot. Just wondering where I can get one that fits. Yes, Dorman doesn't make those for X5, just checked their site

Great idea!

That will keep the dirt out and save the CV joints until the boot is replaced. Never thought of doing that, thanks! DeGrand- I saw that too but couldn't find one. The last thing I wanted to do was remove the axle, but I ended up doing the quick hit w/ the 5 lb. hammer to remove it very quickly. Just need to remove the control arm near the engine- 18mm socket w/ impact gun makes this very easy. Just remember to tighten to 160nm AFTER putting the X back on the ground.
