Good cleaning

When you gotta use wood as press accesssories. Also hate when the bearing stays stuck on the hub

Spent this afternoon trying to diagnose a tricky problem! Just had water pump replaced on my E91, but car is still throwing up errors of overheating. Will create a new topic when I'm able to do so, hence this reply to a post first

Did you have to get it paint matched after or you found one with your paint on it?

This is why any wheel bearing that has a driveshaft going through it gets replaced my my local garage.

Spoiler came unpainted so had it paint matched and installed by a local body shop ($300).

I didnt get a quote for the job but probably should have. I did however end up removing the bearing out the hub and pressed the bearing out with more good ole wood. I think the driver side I'm just gonna take the spindle and give it to a shop to press it in should be a few bucks compared to them doing everything

I had to try out my new press somehow so this is it

Went on the 6 hour trip to Denver.

Happy to announce my transmission has thrown a 4F83 code and one of my rear running lights went out. So thrilled. Haven't even started the trip back home yet.

Have you broken any mirrors or walked under some ladders recently?

That's it's way to get you to be thinking about the job all the way home

I have no idea what kind of massive snap ring tool they must have used to put this circlip in place but it's near impossible with these hazard freight ones

At least your parts look clean. If I tried that on a Scottish car everything would be rusty as hell. My circlip pliers are pretty wimpy, I think we should both invest in a better set. You can never have too many tools :-)

I just invested in these lol but I guess I should have gotten something better. Definitely gonna get some stronger ones if these don't work

Do you live in a rust belt state or a state that uses salt on roads in the winter?

Not at all I'm in Florida and this car seems to have been in Florida all it's life despite being an xi so idk why everything is always stuck lol

[E92William]

Bearing is in, just need to get the other side of the axle off and should be getting done

No but for a solid few months I've had very good luck. 🤔

Well considering the abundance of parts at your disposal..

[colorado.e9x]

Also small update: The bulb is fine it just came loose after hitting a few good sized potholes. It did loosen my clunk a little more so that's exciting

Extreme humidity might contribute to corrosion
