Hello all,
I'm getting geared/psyched up to undertake the dreaded spline lube. Just previewed Chris Harris' video (nice job, thanks Chris),all the while I'm thinking I can do this-yeah! THEN we get to re-installing the inboard pivot pins,he pulls out a special socket (by BMW) for the job (without giving a part #) . I'm thinking this is prolly expensive and not a readily available unit. Considering I'll prolly do this but once, I'm hoping for an alternate method/tool. Only thought I have is using a crows foot or flair wrench on the torque wrench, but then I'd need to compensate for the altered length of the wrench-anybody know that formula? Any other ideas? tyvm b
