JA FEEL?

[@HansGarage]

Jaaaaa feel baby

Yo man the SOS jack to spread the arm to remove and install the new spring…. Next level. I can’t even believe I just learned about this lmao

[@cavemanken7029]

Using the OEM jack to lower the spring perch is brilliant! Love the videos!

[@darkoz1692]

You're a braver man than me by using the E46 factory jack.

[@user-fu9wi7bq5z]

Thanks man. The clear camera work/angles and perfect step-by-step description made this job a breeze. Thumbs-up...!

[@ForidKhan123]

Han, I would like to thank you for that jack hack. I was sweating like a pig, constantly trying to force the trailing arm down. Such a relief! Thanks again!

[@HansGarage]

Happy to help!

[@REALNotFound]

A lot simpler than I thought. Thanks bro

[@groovedwareman]

Hah - you had me foxed there for a while till I realised you had swapped from the LHS to the RHS at 1:12. Still, useful tips, thanks.

[@moneyshifters]

using the jack in the back is some einstein shit. Respect.

[@HansGarage]

Yessirrrr

[@guscarter3291]

I noticed when you did your rear spring you replace the shocker flat side in towards the wheels. ? which way is correct thanks anyway great video keep them coming love my e46

[@taaayll]

The 2nd JA FEEL was inspiring 2:18

[@hejakma4682]

I did it this way. When i pushed it down with the jack the sway bar link broke. Just don't know if it was bad luck or the link got to much tension.

[@HansGarage]

Aww man sorry to hear that

[@averyjohnson7745]

Thanks for this, got quoted 1000 for this too, stealerships for real

[@dironizareyes596]

Make a video on that and do it before winter salt peace!!!

[@sebastianpin85]

Thx for jack tip bro 🎉

[@hajnihajni6227]

You heav biger spring seats?

[@wyxxniney6]

Im confused in your shock video that's separated from this video you say torque the bolt to 74 but on this video is torqued to 40 ft lbs?? Which is it

[@HansGarage]

The latest video has all the correct info. Sorry for the confusion

[@luigimelanson3270]

If possible could you do a video explaining the spring orientation for the front struts? I purchased Bilstein springs to replace the BMW OEM ones but they are slightly different.

[@HansGarage]

I will be doing the whole suspension soon with bilstein. Front and rear. Stay tuned my friend 😉

[@dantheman1337]

You put the shock absorbers back thr wrong way completely screwing up the lower bushing. Also the jack technique is questionable as it strains the driveshafts hence the Bentley manual says you should disconnect them but this might be overkill.

[@HansGarage]

Completely screwing up the lower bushing you say? How so exactly? Good thing I have lifetime warranty from fcp :)

[@aleksandrtserepov-savolain4251]

NICEEEEEEE!!!!

[@jaguar7051]

Which springs do you get? For lower suspension or regular? I see spring Coils for Mtech lower suspension in RocAuto and regular springs for same car E46

[@HansGarage]

Stock ride height

[@btraf4575]

Is your car xi? (AWd)

[@HansGarage]

yes it is! 330xi

[@drewb4887]

Remove the sway bar links first so you don't break them like me.
