I am going to have to disagree with the Nebster on this one. I think applying two coats of sealant is a good idea. The reason being, you go over it a second time, in case you missed anything the first time. Is it wrong to only apply one coat? Of course not. Two is better IMO. Just my .02!!

No problem. I agree with you on this. Still nervous about this but the car looks like shit without them. I have the new X335!!

J BONE · 03-22-2009, 01:13 PM

Carlos, tried taking my wheels off by hand today. No F'ing way!! Those fuckers are on there tight! Any suggestions? Is this a bad idea or should i wait? I really wanted to clean those hubs today.

UdubBadger · 03-22-2009, 01:25 PM

Sounds good. Put a lot of work into those things this weekend. Hope it was worth it! Was going to get them put on today but the shop was closed.

go stop by the shop after work sometime this week... shouldn't take more than 20 min to do.

J BONE · 03-22-2009, 01:34 PM

That is the plan. Would like to get this done soon. Should wait until april but don't have the patience. Hey, can't find that fog switch number. I know i saved it but no where to be found.

J BONE · 03-22-2009, 01:39 PM

Rusty wheel hubs! Told ya they look like shit!!

J BONE · 03-22-2009, 01:48 PM

Never mind, found it. Order placed! No more F'ing mods for me. Shit this was an expensive month!

Wheels, M3 spoiler, SSTT, painted reflectors, H&R sport springs, tire totes, euro fog switch, E90 teeshirt, cleaning supplies for the hubs, detailing supplies....plus the F'ing installs. Need another job now!

J BONE · 03-22-2009, 01:51 PM

Oh, forgot the $3000 AC unit for the house! So much for the tax return.

UdubBadger · 03-22-2009, 02:14 PM

that last one hurts.

I'm totaling my month up right now.

New Camera - $650
New Lens - $1000
Tischer order (multiple goodies) - $100
Sox tickets - $150
Detail from Ben + paint supplies for wheels - $200

my secret mods - $2700

Grand total not including any install costs - $4800 bucks

CubanJJ09 · 03-22-2009, 02:22 PM

damn those thing look rusty. I'd say just use more leverage & POWA!!! when I used the air gun it even took awhile. so just try harder and be careful that u don't damage the car wheel or yourself. u just gonna put the anti seize on the whole thing? make sure u don't put anti seize on the bolts. I thought it was good but I guess it throws of the torque reading and u over tighten them. I had to go back and clean them off one day

Afraid i am going to break something! Planning on cleaning them with brake cleaner then applying anti-seize over the hub itself.

J BONE · 03-22-2009, 02:30 PM

Yeah, not a chance. Just tried it again. No way am I going to get those off by hand without killing someone or something. Shit.

You need to invest in some ONR, a bucket, a few mitts, and some drying towels. Much better investment in the long run, plus, your car will look much better.
