So I had spotted earlier in the year what looked like the start of crack in the driveshaft bellows:
ordered up new bellows at just over £100 from BMW
I thought I had best order up the special tool for the driveshaft bearing preload from Laser as was only £18, out of stock for 4 months and arrived yesterday:
A bit of a faff getting everything apart:
Took the opportunity to molygrease the driveshaft splines.
bellows was worse than it looked:
So as well done for the winter and an opportunity for a good clean:
Hopefully good for another 10 years
