I'm doing mine myself this weekend. Depending on the pumpkin, you might need to get new shaft seal rings as well, and new locking bolts. I'm actually going to attempt to take the diff apart and replace the diff internally, which requires high-precision digital calipers and backlash indicators.

Do you have the 52mm thin driveshaft wrench? AR Design makes one http://www.ardesign.info/store/bmw/e...tall-tool.html

Good luck!
