BMW Z3 - RTABS, Subframe Bushings, and Wheel Bearings(rear) Replacement

Follow along as I wrestle 20yr old rubber in the sauna while swimming in brake fluid.
But really, I am replacing the Rear Trailing Arm Bushings(RTAB), Rear subframe bushings, and the Rear Wheel Bearings because its one of those things one just does all at the same time. Some of the intermediate steps like diff removal and exhaust removal can be found in my other videos about transmission removal and differential gear ratio change.

Nice press and extraction technique with the all thread. Could you do that with trailing arms only removed? Good video. Thanks

[@DiegoSanchez-mv9vu]

currently doing the same process, where'd you get your rear wheel bearings from?

[@gixxerhoff7502]

Trying to decide if I want to attempt this to put in rear toe and camber adjustment kit. Really feel like all this shouldn’t be necessary. Thanks for video

Thank You. good video.

I see your manual on the work bench, which one are you using? I have been looking for a good one. Thanks for the video.

[@driventofailure]

Its a Bently manual, pretty happy with the amount of information in it. Some of it does come down to forum searches for more advance stuff.

[@stevemiller-hp4vt]

Whereabout did you have to undo the exhaust to get it out of the way? The only place I can see on mine where I can disconnect it is right up the front at the manifold!! I don’t wanna be messing about up there but it all looks to be in one piece from there backwards.

Mine has a joint several inches forward of the subframe, in the area where the driveshaft support bushing is… looks factory to me

[@stevemiller-hp4vt]

@@driventofailure I’m not so lucky!!
