Quick fix: 30 minute steering joint replacement! (pics!)

Hey everybody

I just did a writeup on replacing the steering column joint on our E53 X5 (specifically M54 I6 models)

I had a dead spot and clicking noise in my steering wheel. This is a common problem on E53 (and E38/E39), book says it takes 3 hours to replace but I was able to do it in 30 minutes on mine! V8s are probably not as easy

After almost 190k miles, mine was done!

It's so nice to not have a "click" noise and shimmy in the steering wheel
