Dumb Question Thread - No Flaming Allowed

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?

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.

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

I’m assuming you responded because you have ZCP wheels and these tire specs and stock suspension, but… yes? lol

I'm running 12.5 in the rear and 20 in the front without issues and it looks great.
