EP. 9 My BMW E30 Restoration - Driveshaft Restoration (including removal of both CV axles)

Hi and welcome to my channel,
In this video I will be restoring my driveshafts from my e30 touring as the third video of my rear assembly series.
There was little information about how to remove the axle end CV joint, I found an old thread that showed it was possible and had a go myself on a spare axle I had. It is documented in the video on how to remove and re-fit this end in a non-destructive manner!
I painted and plated the necessary parts to make my usual look of restorations.
