The "stealership"! Love it! Video was just fine buddy! And more informative than you probably think! I encourage you to make more videos!

I LIKE IT! Thank you. These are the videos I appreciate the most. I'm doin it. Many questions answered, knowledgeable, to the the point, AND, the confidence I was looking for to proceed. God bless this man, in all his endeavors.

great diy, saving some time in repairs is always a plus. ill be doing 330xi soon.

Great explanation!

Hi, I have a clicking noise on both cv joints where they enter the front differential, does this indicate my cv joints are bad or the differential is bad?

Hey would I need to remove any of the front drivetrain parts to replace my turbos on my 335 xi?

Hi what if I just want some wheel spin. If I took off the drive shaft next to the transmission. Would it throw any code to me? I just want to do some burn outs till winter. Thanks.

hey @BMWhips do you have a easy way to change the rear CV joints on a xi model ??? 2008 535xi ?

I have the front drive shaft removed too on my 2011 328xi and want to remove the front cv axles cuz they’re bad during summer

the bmw 325xi awd 2006 has ring sensor on the rear left side?

Do you have any experience with a front differential on an e90? I have a leak coming from my output seal...cant find any how-to videos. Assuming I have to drop it?

what was the brand of axles that were no good? and where did you get them from?

Using advance autonpart axels and stuff not worth it?

Is it the same for an all wheel drive

Can someone pls answer, 3:40 do I have to unclip and take out the whole axle to be able to move out the seal from the half shaft??

Can you explain what you have experienced by using eBay garbage and can you make a video I'm going how to remove the rear drive axle

i like. althouhh i wouldnt hit the bolt of the tie rod. hit the side of the knuckle where the tie goes into. ..anywho. my axle is good. just killin time

Did you do an xdelete?

You know leaving those out wouldn't actually give you any extra power to the rear wheels right? The transfer case is going to split the power before it gets to the rear regardless of whats connected in the front. You would have to eliminate the transfer case to deliver all the power to rear. I know this video is old but my comment is for anyone thinking they're going to convert to rwd and have more power.

I have a 2013 328i xdrive if I take my front drive shaft out can I do some bad ass burn outs? Idc if it doesn't add more power but will I lose power ?

sory but you are rong cause the rear axil is direct connected to the gear but the front axil is connected via clutch in the transfer case so when we remove the front shaft all the power go to the rear axil

Did you get the triple threat dash lights, when you removed the drive shaft? 4x4, abs and traction controle? any codes??

So i have a 2008 535xi i had a boot sadly come apart due to a loose plastic cover that ate through the boot and caused premature failure. Im wanting to run it as rear wheel drive until the new ones come in at bmw. I can not afford to have my car down come monday. I am having issues with the 4 wheel drive light coming on and not letting me go over 25 mph ? wondering if theres a fix for it

@@Turbo2Pete When I did mine i used what's called a slide hammer. It was a pain in the ass to remove the axel by hand. Since I was on jack stands i through i was going to tip the car over.. The slide hammer works great. I tied a chain to mine and gave it one good solid slide and the axel popped right out. Look them up on the googles, you can find some pretty cheap or even just make your own DIY style

@@jgamble317 that's a giid tricj too... I know how- just keep seeing people askimg, having trouble getting the halfshaft out of the diff.... I finally made a video myself that answers that....

Following a TRIO of front cv axle premature-failures...imagine my shock when I applied extra light to the area around the front-diff mounting bracket; Lo and behold; two aluminum bolts had in fact sheared: This was causing the assembly to sag ~1.5 inches closer to the subframe...which was (likely upon mild bump) eating inner boots.Right-or-wrong; those AL bolts got replaced with STEEL. This is a bargain, hi-mile ride, but I've had my fill of finding sheared soft stretch bolts on my garage floor and underpans. I'm thinking my E46 was that last model to have

The Axles only apply to AWD. RWD cars do not have those in the front. The wheel/hub is held on by the control arms, and the steering rack.

How far did he make it until the front wheels fell off? The axle and axle nut are what hold the wheel bearings together. So without the outer parts of the axles there's nothing to hold the wheels to the car.

You spend to much time talking and not enough time showing us how you removed the CV axle

WAAAAAAYYYYYYYY TOO MUCH explaining WHY YOU are doing something and no actual DIY? If you're going to make DIY instructional videos, you should actually include the part where you DIY!
