Love the new car jack

[@WMCS]

Hi Marc..,, I’ve had the jack for a while now ..,, but it comes only usually when I’m doing RWD for easy access to the underside of the vehicle..,,, Really appreciate the time you’ve taken to leave a review on our forum

[@supertirk]

It seemed easy from this living room 😎

[@bmwm5bmw610]

Omg that gearbox very heavy for one person to lift up or put it down good job Kevin 👍

[@WMCS]

They are a little bit in the heavy side.

[@maxautouk]

I did a starter motor on a Mercedes a150 and I think it probably took as long as this clutch job 😂 subframe down.... Remove loads of gubbins..... Too hot for it! Nice to see you still hard at work, we are lucky really people always need their cars and need mechanics

[@WMCS]

Hey Max..,, nice to hear from you. The saga of the A class ..,, honestly they are such a tight squeeze they are ..,, sometimes it’s best to drop the whole engine down. Fair play to you to take it on in a mobile capacity..., Still at it everyday.., you’re right the heat really slaps us out here 🤪...

[@maxautouk]

@@WMCS I had the starter on that a-Class...then some module diagnostics on a dacia that had been crashed and won't start... Then to top it all off I get to my last job to do a shaft, drop links and front brakes and as I get there the owner said he'd lost the locking wheel nut and didn't mind if I 'just ripped them off'............... I'm home now and glad to be in the shade!

Hi Kevin, great video as always. I look forward to your videos. I would of liked to of seen exactly where you poked them Allen keys in when aligning that center plate, but you got to keep a few tricks of the trade to yourself haha.

[@mcqcjc8409]

What do u think of that lift? Is it better than jacks?

[@user-ox4eu3xi3s]

that box looks heavy, do you ever use one of the jack - gearbox mounts for a trolley jack? surely some boxes are just to heavy depending on the car / van to be lifting on your own, at least you can go home knowing youve earned your money!

[@danmcnelly5901]

Hi Is this the same procedure on an bmw e46 330d? I.e. can you do it without removing exhaust or prop shaft bearing Also do you need to support engine when removing gearbox? You make it look so easy👍

[@WMCS]

Hi Dan. There’s multiple repair vids for BMW. I think there’s a specific one for your one.

[@danmcnelly5901]

I found two videos of you doing 2007 330d If you ever do a 2003-2006 e46 330d it would be great if you make a video 👍 Thanks

[@GeorgeAusters]

Someone definitely not replaced that flywheel when they last did the clutch.. Clutch had plenty of life left in it!

[@WMCS]

Happens a lot. Then a few months to a year the whole thing needs to be redone again. A but if false economy not having it all done first time.

[@zaydounezz4888]

Good job you are not supposed to bleed the air in the circuit at the end? Cheers

[@WMCS]

It’s a sealed unit so not really necessary

That is damned hard work . How many do you do a week on average.

How did you align the clutch using the Allen keys? What holes did you put them in?

Anyone have a photo or diagram of where you inset the allen keys? Cant make it out in the video!

[@Mority07]

I was thinking it is impossible to replace the clutch without remove the exaust

[@mcqcjc8409]

Again red rubber grease not good for that at all. Red rubber grease is made for seal protection - it is compatible with brake fluid seals but it is a simple vegetable grease Its temperature range is not adequate for clutch and its anti seizing properties are not that good at all as it cooks of at higher temps. U can get a 500g ceramic grease can for 15 quid and u can use it on any friction points - it melts at 1000 degrees and does not get thin when under high temperature making it to be pushed out

[@marlonhofmann7736]

Where does the wiggle come from ? The clutch or the two mass wheel 😅

[@WMCS]

The double mass flywheel

[@slitherdurant]

Bro just dropped the trans on him self I’m over here acting all scary with a jack. Good shit 🫡

[@WMCS]

Thanks for the feedback mate. .. much appreciated

[@DonMikson]

Hi. Do you know if in version 2.0d engine m47n2 is exactly the same way or are some difference ? Regards from Poland

[@WMCS]

It’s a lot easier than this. More room. But same layout.

[@swms9679]

Another great vid, how long have you had the Milwaukee for ? It looks pretty beaten up haha

[@WMCS]

Thank you John..,, I can’t remember the exactly but it’s passed the two year mark. It does take quite a bit of bearing to be fair that Milwaukee.., but it’s a really good impact.

[@swms9679]

Kevin-Albert Williams i got the same one as well and yes it does wonders 👍🏻

[@WMCS]

John J I rely on it that much that I keep a spare one of the same ..,, it’s honestly one of the better impact wrench I’ve owned...,, are you a full time mechanic then.

[@swms9679]

Kevin-Albert Williams i can see that it is your main tool haha , no im not a mechanic, i just do work on my car when theres a need and help out friends and family .

[@mcqcjc8409]

@@swms9679 He asked if u r full time mechanic. How can u say u r not mechanic when u said u fix your cars and family cars? Makes no sense to underestimate your skills. U should have said u have no clue at all - in the end u havent finished any mechanic school or trade course. So for that fact even if u can make a cylinder bore milling u are not mechanic because u have no papers for that

Im planning to do it on my 330xd , does being xdrive make it harder or is it the same ?

It’ll be a bit harder due to the transfer box.

[@noelkelly7680]

Nice lift is this a new one higher or same one in another vid

[@noelkelly7680]

Another good job as usual

[@WMCS]

It’s the same lift .., I’ve changed the rubber blocks to bigger ones.., it gives an extra two inches. ..,, but makes the difference.

[@Megalocade]

You can't beat a Longitudinal engine, so much easier to work on when it comes to clutch time, just done a mates mitsy shogun we managed to slip the box back using the box support beems below just enough space to get the flywheel out and the rest of the job done. Nice lift, a lot better than those mobile scissor lifts, certainly looks sturdy enough, you alt to invest in a low lift transmission jack mate best bit of kit I ever purchased especially with the twin tilt to get alignment right, bench pressing tranys if fine when your young but at my age it ain't happening.

[@WMCS]

Shin Gouki in-line engine all day long. Agree with you 100%... that’s all you need really. Just enough access to drop clutch and flywheel.., I’m gonna be doing a transporter next week. Just enough room to get a breaker bar in there ..., how old are you to still be tackling them repairs then. A shogun .., with the transfer case attached..,, I’ve stopped doing them. Too heavy.

[@Megalocade]

@@WMCS 51 chap, I don't do this for a living now, I don't mind for close family and friends, much prefer the restoration side of it, doing up classics.

[@americandream1264]

Hello Kevin! I watched your's videos on youtube on how to replace the clutch on a BMW and I followed them step by step Kevin. After 7 hours, I finished putting the parts in the car together . First I started the car, and then I hit the clutch pedal to put it in the 1st gear but the stick can not move. I could not put the stick on the 1st gear or in the reverse. I do not know why. I am so worried. My clutch kit is new. Does anyone know why I can not put the stick in the first gear or in the reverse to move the car? Wanna know. Thanks for your time, everyone.

[@adriandukes7690]

Wow love the lift, I bet it saves some time jacking the vehicle up, was it a costly investment

[@WMCS]

It cost me about £1300..,, I only use it for RWD ..,, as all wheels needs to be up in the air to be able to move freely under the vehicle ..,,

[@adriandukes7690]

Kevin-Albert Williams end of the day if it saves you time it makes you money

[@WMCS]

Adrian Dukes definitely saves a lot of time ..,, plus it’s quite sturdy. Only thing is needs to be on a very flat and level surface.

Good friend I have a bmw and my big problem is to put it in the air with only one or two jacks and easels ... do you have any method due to your experience? if i had this monkey it would be easier but they are still expensive...thanks if you can help

I personally wouldn’t put myself under all wheels up only on axle stands… it can be quite detrimental

If you change a BMW clutch, you have to replace the ball pin in the gearbox too, part number 21511223328. Otherwise the clutch won't work properly, regards Simon
