BMW 33217547074 Cv Axle Assembly Rear Right

Begin by having the vehicle on its wheels, then remove the wheel trim/hub cap, and loosen the driveaxle retaining nut or bolt as well as the wheel bolts. Prior to loosening the driveaxle nut, use a hammer and punch to push out the staked portion of the nut. On F-series chassis models, it's important to always replace the driveaxle bolt and small compression spring when they are removed.

For installation, start by removing the snap-ring from the driveaxle's inboard end and install a new one. Lubricate the nut-to-wheel bearing area, tighten the nut to the specified torque without oiling the threads, stake the nut post-tightening, and add new inner joint retaining bolts and plates. Tighten the inner joint retaining bolts to the necessary torque.
