Remove wheel.
Press lockout -1-.
Loosen nut -2-.
Attention: The nut is screwed with a large tightening torque. For safety reasons, put the wheel on, lower the car, and only then unscrew the nut.
Loosen the bolts securing the axle shaft to the differential gearbox using a 6 mm Allen key, for example, HAZET 2584, (arrows) and tie up the axle shaft with wire.
Attention: Do not allow the axle shaft to sag, as the outer constant velocity joint is overloaded.
Press axle shaft out of wheel hub. This requires a special tool, for example BMW 332110 with spindle 332111, jumper 332112 and threaded part 332113. The jumper is screwed with -2- wheel bolts, and the spindle is screwed into the thread, abutting against the axle shaft and pressing it out. The spindle and axle shaft are connected by a threaded part.
Remove half shaft.
Installation
Put the half shaft and tie it up with wire.
Screw the axle shaft to the differential gearbox with a tightening torque of 80 Nm.
Press in the axle shaft using a special tool, eg BMW 332110. To do this, first screw the spindle completely into the bridge. Screw the threaded part onto the spindle and onto the axle shaft. On the other hand, screw a nut onto the spindle, for example BMW 334042, and clamp the jumper. In this case, the axle shaft will be pressed into the hub. Check the alignment of the splines on the axle shaft and in the hub.
Drive in a new lock.
Lubricate the contact surface of the new nut and lightly screw on the nut.
Put the wheel on, lower the car.
Tighten the nut to 200 Nm.
Tighten wheel bolts to 110 Nm.
