How high did you have to jack up the vehicle? I’m working with two jack stands and a scissor jack and I have been putting off this job too long I feel.

Hi just wanted to know where you bought your transfer rebuild kit from and if you have a link to it. I'm from Australia and I've tried nearly every possible store online but the don't deliver to Australia for some reason and have been stuck without this one piece.

Thanks for you video. Very helpful. I just did mine without the spacer. Welded it on 81 cm and cut of about 1 cm from the gearboxtube. That was worn out anyway so now I,ve got the spines reaching all the way in. Works perfectly.

Better to just buy a used swing arm online. That's what I did. I replaced all the rear suspension components on my 2002 E53. I used all new parts except for the swing arms.

Pretty nice video. I have not done anything for mine in ages, tiny bit something for the E34 lately. Btw only mistake I notice was those handbrake cables, those go under the subframe by those "formed wires" which hang them down from the subframe. Pretty work ❤

Thanks for the correction! Everything seems so simple when taking apart, but when putting back together, I discover things can go back in so many different ways, and I'm always regretting I didn't take enough pictures/videos! 🤣 You're lucky you have E34, my favorite looking car!

All I’m really after is having a fob that will unlock the doors and I was worried as we only have the 1 key for the car, I have the Amazon fob ready to try but have held out after I heard about the EWS part of keys and thought using my working key to program another fob may remove it

@BimmerFix 2 ай бұрын

@TyeTreegaming it's not a simple task, but you can purchase a spare dme with EWS deleted. Then all you have to do is swap the DME and never worry about EWS. If you want EWS back, swap back your original DME. Look on eBay, they go for as cheap as $100.00. Send me your email if you'd like.

The lower part attachment for the strut is kinda missing of this. And you need to tell to torque it the weight on as level. :) Ofc it's hard now since without the subframe. Good parts. I also bought Sachs to E39 as it's the OEM manufacturer on many parts.

Nice. I had pretty good brakes on mine, replaced once. Now it has just been laying on garage for few monts without touching on it, but IS model brakes were bolt on too. No real reason actually, but on front those are pretty much bigger even. Do you think that paint to stand out rusting? I did use on mine just casual 2k epoxy and some non 2k silver which said like 150c heat durability or so.

I think it would've been a lot easier using a cup with the correct diameter. I have a hydraulic press similar to the one in this video, and I've never had any difficulty with wheel bearings or bushings. It's worth it to buy a hydraulic press _and_ a press sleeve kit.

@thetoughcookie3665 Ай бұрын

@@ericwelsh4853 I had just an common set with many parts and a threaded rod, did take them nicely. I have hydraulic press too but there was no need for it. But original bushings are quite tight on that spot, only thing which they seem to suffer is a attachment to rubber which gets loose if something. But on the other hand: it's a heavy car which means that if your bush is like softer than stock one and leans like 1mm more on this point, it's much more on a tire.

Should the splines have some sort of lubricant before fitting together?

@BimmerFix 7 ай бұрын

You can put a bit of grease. A/C drains just above the splines. Some people move the drains slightly, some use grease on the splines. Personally, I didn't find the rust to be significant, rather just light surface rust. I just sprayed the splines with ospho (phosphoric acid). I'm not worried about much rust, especially how deep the splines go after this fix (almost 2 inches instead of 0.75).

I did this fix on my 4.4i and the bell housing on the 4.4i is different. This means that the hex bolt heads were coming too close to the bell housing with the spacer installed. Instead I used higher grade internal hex bolts. Also, on my 4.4i it would have been impossible to install the shaft if I had made it 30"long. I went for 29 13/16". 1/16" more might have worked but I did not want to risk having to disconnect the diff or the TC. For a few days I ran the car with only three spacers on the bolts as the Russian made spacer took a few days to arrive. I guess that source is no longer an option....

@BimmerFix 7 ай бұрын

That's awesome, the good thing is you can find the perfect length and test it out before welding the spline tip on the driveshaft. As for the spacer, I ordered it from Urkaine, since it's no longer available from Russia.
