X5 E70 Front Hub Install
Hello,

Has anyone used this tool from CTA to install the front hubs of their E70? I tried replacing the hubs without it and end up having to bang them one the spline because they would only go so far. And then use the collar nut to drive them home. In the process i think i ruined the hubs' bearings and still have loud road noise. I rather not go through that pain again. I will say every youtube video and forum guide i have found make it seem like the new hubs just slide on and off you go. Not the case for me at all. Thank you all in advance!

I believe I used that tool to pull my axle into the hub. It was the only way I could get the axle into the hub.

Yea I tried with a hammer and it was just not happening. Those axles are tight in there and the tool was the only way.
