How do you remove the rear halfshaft on BMW M3?

To remove the halfshaft on E30 models, start by removing the rear wheel and axle nut. Then, remove the constant velocity joint bolts at the final drive output flange. Use a suitable tool to press the axle through the bearing and out of the vehicle. To install, place the halfshaft through the bearing and pull into place using the tool. Secure the constant velocity joint bolts and torque them to the specified value. Lubricate the axle nut and torque it to the specified value, then install the lockplate. Finally, install the rear wheel. On E36 models, the process is similar, but you will also need to remove the rear exhaust system, disconnect the stabilizer bar, and remove the ABS sensor. The torque specifications for the axle nut will vary depending on the spindle size. When overhauling the CV-joint, make sure to use the correct CV-boot clamps and do not reuse the old ones. Clean and inspect the CV joints and boots, replacing them if necessary. Pack the outer CV joint with grease and install the boots, securing the clamps. Pack the inner CV joint with grease and secure the remaining clamp. To install the CV-boot clamps, follow the specific instructions for the type of clamp you have.

BMW M3 Axle Shaft

The Axle Shaft of the BMW M3 automobiles is a key part that transmits torque from the differential to the driving wheels so that each wheel can rotate separately to expound tractive capacity. These steel shafts are of different types, for instance the solid ones for trucks and old RWD cars, half-ones for cars with independent suspension. Axiels consist of a differential, and axle shafts are solid; half-shafts have splined shafts that connect to the CV Joints and wheel hubs. Axle bearings and differential components may wear and may cause rattling or vibration and worn axle seal means leakage of lubricant and contamination of brakes. In general, the Axle Shaft which is a crucial component in BMW M3 vehicles is used to support vehicle weight, transmit the driving torque and maintain the wheel's alignment.
