Rear Axle Installer Tool - Found Finally.

[matreyia]

Anyone who needs to install the rear axles to the hub - I finally found the tool that fits the 335i e9x series rear axles that have 27x1.5 thread. You will need this tool to safely pull the axles back completely into the splines on the inside of the hub. BMW, Baum sells for hundreds of dollars, and Bav Auto sells for 70 bucks but out of stock perpetually. I found this link in another forum so here it is for you. Literally nobody knew what I was talking about when I called all the websites and outlets...NOBODY, Hell Pelican was like...what???. So here it is for you all:

Probably beating it back into place. Then a couple of months later complain about noises in cv joint.

Reminds me, I have a little kit I bought to do the brake pads on my A4, used it once and now it sits in my toolbox if anyone wants to buy it
