1) I'll need a tool for the rears . Like https://www.1addicts.com/forums/show...ight=rsfb+tool
2) It is possible to push out the fronts with a large socket, heat, and the weight of the car to push them out. Mentioned here. https://www.1addicts.com/forums/show...3&postcount=50
Can anyone provide me a better description of the process in for #2? What size socket? where do you place it? and the safe way to apply the pressure to the bushing. Pics would be helpful for this if anyone has them.
Thanks in Advance |
As you know I had my dealer do the install of the M3 RSB on my 135i. It was a pretty big job. You have to drop the rear axle... get new SS brake lines, brake fluid too.
You will need a on the car press like these... I am not sure of the M3 bushings size... but they are big... like three inches in diameter or so. When you have your new bushings, you can figure out the size. You might even need a larger C-clamp part to be able to press out the old bushings. From what I remember the tech telling me... the front ones were easy to do... but the rear ones were a real PITA.
