I am doing all 12 Bushings on my BMW 335i E93, can you recommend an extracting kit for all the bushings or are they individual kits? Can you recommend some? That one looked heavy duty!
I guess any generic "bushing/ bearing removal " kit would somewhat do the job. SummitRacing etc. sells many different ones. Buying something BMW specific is usually not cheap at all, but there's a guarantee that it will work. I just don't have anything specific in mind to recommend, sorry.
Unfortunately, I can't provide you anything specific, what I used was just a bunch of pieces out of one or two bushing kits and something that I made myself. One of them was an E46 trailing arm replacement tool kit.
here is one option www.turnermotorsport.com/p-587611-trailing-arm-bushing-tool-set/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwm5e5BhCWARIsANwm06jDabDMf9cMhXHI_zmB-Dp46lCVpDKxtIMJe-unuVH20r4VwTKHo-UaAqptEALw_wcB makes sense to rent it, if you are DIY, not a repair shop.
@@maxsam201 Did you have to disconnect the exhaust from the hangers for the driver side? I'm wondering if it's worth changing these if I'm at 145,000 miles.
I don't remember ))) but would think that disconnecting all 3 rear hangers would allow you to move exhaust a few inches. Also, this is a single piece all the way to the down pipes, it's not much flexible. Rubber exhaust hangers do degrade over time, but it's hard to decide on the exact point for replacement, this 2006 car had about 200,000 miles and still had original pieces in good shape.
Well, if you have watched the whole video, you would have known what size t-bolt clamps are :-) They are 2". As far as bushings go, I need to measure them, if you need exact numbers.
What is the outer dimension of the part that presses the bushing out? Im about to do the same job, and i have some pressing tools but would be nice to check if i actually have the dimension i need. Thanks!
@@Alpejohn in the process of doing the same.. this is the last bushing I have left to change on the subframe. I have a kit & there is only 1 black piece that is ~51mm but i cant see it fitting, maybe the rust.. were you successful? I already bent a steel rod lol
U just bought the 12 piece bushing kit and I am here wondering what extraction and pressing kits I need in addition! The one the OP had looked heavy duty
@@Critical7hinking ah I see why you said that. I wonder if I meant ecs tuning. They have two kits around 200 and 250. Unfortunately you need both to do all of the inner and outer bushings and ball joints in the rear. I do not know if they work for the subframe or differential mounts though. Even using those kits, I had to buy some extra grade 8 hardware bolts, nuts, and washers. There's a video on UA-cam from some place called HCB tools that shows how to use the kit. Are you talking about a 12 piece kit of the bushings and ball joints for the rear, or a tool?
I laughed at two days. During the coming winter, I will rebuild the front and rear suspension on my M3. I'm budgeting a whole month. But you didn't share: who makes the ratchet you like so much?
The main kit was that tool for E46 trailing arm bushings removal/ replacement, it was bought used a long time ago, so unfortunately I don't recall exactly where it came from. Any generic bushings removal kit should do the job.
The use of the t clamp was brilliant
Not a proper tool, but for a one-time-use, it worked.
1 bushing 2 days , still have all your fingers and eyes, that’s a win !
Managed to hurt myself anyway haha

Would you mind if let me the bushing kit tools link here ? Thanks if you see that !

What was the symptoms that needed to change?
They squeak
Would you be able to measure the sleeve used to remove the bushing?
yes, diameters?
Is please, inner diameter and outer diameter.
What size clamps are them .. brilliant video btw
They close at 50 mm (2") exactly, Vibrant p/n VIB2790 and if i remember correctly, 2 - 2.25" size
superb! thanks for the video!
You are welcome!
Can you give me link where i can find bushing specific tool?:)

Appreciate the great video man
Thanks! Could have been better :)

What size are them bushings? Just wondering what size t b clamps would i need? As special tool for this is just way overpriced. Thanks

Thank you for sharing. What is the diameter of the hole where the rubber bearing is mounted?
Are you asking about the subframe?
Yes, or the diameter of the Tool you Used
What is the outer dimension of the part that presses the bushing out?
Im about to do the same job, and i have some pressing tools but would be nice to check if i actually have the dimension i need.
Thanks!
I need to measure it, don't remember from the top of my head.
@@maxsam201 That would be awsome, Thanks!
51 mm is the number, if it's not too late.
@@maxsam201 Awsome, thanks alot!

Have you seen the ball joint bushing kit on FCP euro?
Hm, probably not.

@@Critical7hinking Which 12 piece bushing kit did you buy?
@@kurtm54 only 12 kit they have, but it’s for the rear only. Subframe and knuckles

A month allocated is plenty 👍GEDORE is the name. Hazet is also very nice. Both are "made in Germany".
Was it worth it? The old bushing does not look cracked or off centered.
As far as I recall, they were not centered anymore.
Where can I’m buy these toy
Hi where do you get that tool kit I really need one thanks

Ok thanks
Bro you need to do the trick where you link two wrenches together!
That's a good point.
If you grease the threads on the bolt, you might be able to use it more than 3 times. Lol
Haha. I tried.
