What's the shelf life of brake fluid? Asking about fluid in a previously opened container but the fluid isn't used, and brand new in a sealed unopened container. If I check the moisture is that a good enough indicator that it's good or not?

Just don't hate me if it doesn't work, again I am not 100%, but a solid 85.999%

I used a PVC pipe fitting, although it was a special fitting I got from a store I used to work at that sold hot tubs. It was a repair fitting so you won't find it locally but here are some pictures and a part #.

I see I sanded it around the permiter slightly for a better fit. My memory is terrible but I'm almost positive I used this.

Edit: You may be able to get this locally, it slips over a 2" fitting, we sold them as well as another shop in our small Nebraska town.

Anyone who has DIY'd diff output seals: what did you use to drive the seal in? I remember it being a huge pain in the ass to get it in last time, and I would like to be prepared this time so I can get in and get out. Anyone know of an easily purchasable object that will do the trick?

No, to be clear I have the 19" style 67 wheels. I'm sorry, I should have mentioned that.

Regarding the suspension, I have the Koni/Eibach shock/spring combo. I'll attach a link to this setup so you can see the amount of reduction from the springs (it's not much). https://www.bimmerworld.com/Suspensi...1145-1012.html
