Drive Shaft seized on the final drive splines

[darrell]

Reading what you are experiencing just checking the drive shaft makes me think maybe when I buy the next BMW drive shaft bike I’ll have the dealer check the drive shaft before giving them the final payment OR ask them for a free unlimited mileage/warranty on the drive shaft and all surrounding parts. Can’t offer you any suggestion on getting yours apart but with the total failure I experienced and the difficulty checking yours maybe others should check theirs before reach 80,000 miles like my original thought was.
