      Is there a good press tool for this or does a generic bushing removal and installation tool work?

        Schwaben RTAB tool. I pushed the old bushing out with the new bushing via the RTAB tool.

          Thanks! Did you have to cut the sleeve of the bushing?

              Not today but the last thing I did, I think.

              MSI wheel studs.

                Little cleaning and touch up on some pieces while they're out for rod bearing work.

                Replacing control arms, tie rods, end links, engine mounts and power steering parts at the same time. Stock parts at 98k are nasty and every bushing compressed probably over 1/2 inch.

                  Radium Engineering Fuel Filter

                  Went with Radium Engineering this time. I've had their catch can on my car for years and love the quality of their products. This is a high flow all fuel compatible filter.

                    The previous owner of my car had the radium catch can installed but it leaks all the time. Have you experienced the same thing too?

                      Where does it leak from? I do not have the drain option from the bottom because I check it often enough and its easy just to screw the can off.

                      I have no leaking issues. My fittings are tight and I don't let it get that full.

                        Changed the engine oil and filter, as well as changed cabin air filter. Tightened a loose screw for the undertray. Replaced the plastic frame that holds the alarm sensor from the headliner (the plastic clips were broken).

                          Pulled Vanos, beisan pump disc and intake side seals now installed, found no broken/worn driver tabs.
                          This is my first time working on anything inside of an engine, a bit nervous although the beisan instructions are very comprehensive.
                          The anti-rattle procedure is really freaking me out as re-timing the engine and getting it wrong would be a total disaster.
                          Taking my time on this job.

                            My M3 lightened my wallet via a pair of Koni sport struts as we try to find a suspension we like.
                            B6/OEM = fail. No body control, period
                            B12 = fail. Not enough rebound, inconsistent damper behavior.
                            koni/Eibach Pro kit =pending.

                              Replaced the stupid $125 glove box latch actuator on my vert. The electric motor itself had gone kaput, trying to see if I can find anything that will swap in just so I can have a spare.

                              Also replaced the lower dash trim above the driver's footwell that had been cracked for years. Figured as rapidly as interior bits for these cars are going obsolete I'd better grab one while I still could.
