Ok, it works on the 90Q as well BTDT. But.... Looking at the 5kq's the
drive shaft is much larger (diameter wise, Graydon pointed this out to me 
in one of our "mine is bigger than yours" contests :-)) and the carrier
bearing seems
to be a lot "beefier".  I have never had one apart so I don't even know if
the BMW part would work on.  Anyone checked this out???  I as well as
others I'm sure would like to know of a BTDT on a 5ktq.  This seems to be
a fairly regular problem with our high mileage babies....
