BMW E30 Output Shaft - Full Restoration | BMW E30 325i Sport Restoration S2 E4

[@ScottTheis]

Once the body work is done, please tell me you're going to do a rebuild video of you putting all of the parts back in. We've watched this thing get rebuilt piece by piece, I'm excited to see it all come back together.

[@RestoreIt]

Absolutely Scott :D You'll see everything.

[@serenity6415]

@@RestoreIt Have we asked yet what color you're going to paint the car? I've been wondering this whole time. The same color as before? or...

[@imnota]

@@serenity6415 Since it's a restoration it will probably be the original color.

[@unkjason]

I've never seen you struggle before. That gives me hope

[@ichkannviel]

why is that not painted wet on wet, a lot less work

[@jshdwhite79]

On one hand i feel like ordering new parts would be easier, on the other hand the satisfaction of restoring almost every piece of the car is far more fulfilling. Not to mention the attention to detail...

[@jamesfox7642]

I was thinking so too but just looking for this output shaft online was pretty difficult and it did not look cheap.

[@RestoreIt]

Exactly, jshdwhite. It's going to be the same car when I finish :)

Something I like about your editing : transition between fast and real time action. Great job. it's very usefull to understand how you proceed. Keep going !

[@Saskinny]

Always look forward to your videos! Most "restorations" are merely replacing parts. You actually restore what you took off of the original car! Great, great job!

[@electronic7979]

Excellent restoration

[@pedrodscom]

I will be so exited to see your BMW restored, but the waiting is really pleasing seeing its progress! I really admire and respect the job you´re doing, not only the restoring, wich is mind blowing, but also the deliver: recording, editing and the consistency of give us always good material. I will absolutely follow your new channels, cause you're somebody to deserves to be supported in every way. Handshake, man. Congrats!

[@RestoreIt]

Me too Pedro, I can't wait. Big thank you for this comment it means a lot. All I want to do is post more videos. This type of content takes a lot of work for one video. Not the best if I want to be posting more. I'm glad you'll join me over on the other channels. I can't wait to be myself on camera and share more. See you there!

[@nsheehy9953]

Best videos on KZbin for this type of work imo. Brilliantly done.

[@PaycoTsunami]

Dude your channel is so sick. not too sure if its intentional or not but you make me want to actually legitimately restore parts on my car that have gone bad. Its so entertaining that you've covered how to do certain things without a word spoken. You give me the confidence and I aspire to do that kind of work as well so keep it up dude!

[@Holms]

Although I"m nooband I share your feelings, but there's lots of but's in here. First of all why not to take off the joint completely? It's quite easy to do, all you need is just a light knock and it will pop-off. There's also stuff in there to clean inside, you can also disassemble whole shaft in half and clean things in between. I completely don't understand decision to just repaint this part, which rusts as hell, the only way to paint it properly is using zink, because in this case this won't hold long, any rock that will hit that shaft will scratch it up to the metal, this has to have better coating then a base coat. Also he didn't place bearing balls into place the way it was, do you think they are the same? They are not! They weared out differently, and he just placed healthy balls to the place where it wears out faster which actually makes this shaft more loose within a next month of usage. He also placed boots wrong, putting ziptie over ziptie..w00t? r'lly? Don't you think it's too sharp for the gum to be mounted on top :D? There's so many questions in here for me, although yeah, these vidsare motivates as hell, especially the way things sound, there's no distracting music, there's only hand work which makes me to drop my software engineering and start to restore things! :)

Loctite works when the air is gone between the splines, so apply before tighten it. Great work lovely to watch!

[@dhc4ever]

Buddy, You are generally correct. However the green colour loctite which looks a lot like loctite 290 is called wick in and is designed to be applied AFTER the fastener has been tightened. I didnt see which number it was and if it isnt 290, you're right.

[@7jonte]

@@dhc4ever Oh okey never had that loctite my mistake. Learning every day :)

[@The_Black_Sun91]

Your Videos are amazing, i've been watching your videos on and off but since you started your E30 i am hooked and you are one of the reasons i started the restoration of my E36 Compact i love watching your videos before i go out to the Garage an tear into things again. keep up the amazing work. greetings from Austria

[@CookRacingUK]

My E30 drive shafts are knackered so many thanks for the tips!

[@budude2]

I get that you might not want to permanently install your grinder on the bench but you can always bolt it to a board and then clamp the board to the bench so that it can be moved out of the way.

[@RestoreIt]

Haha, no I will be bolting it down. I'm just juggling creating the workshop and making videos with it. Everything will be bolted down soon. I'd say the workshop is about halfway to completion.

[@insaneiceage9719]

Tip for cutting the masking tape: Use a screwdriver to cut it. Use the long part of the screwdriver around the edge and it will cut the tape perfectly. Just press on the edge with the long round part of the screwdriver and magic happenes.

[@RestoreIt]

Thank you, Marian! I will be trying this next time.

[@user-rp4je2gc2o]

Hi, the outer cv joint is also removable, they're held on by a springclip, a good blow to the inner bearing race should do it. If i'm not mistaken. (kinda like how the halfshafts are locked in the diff) Also the inner cv joints aren't to hard to find and not to expensive and its these that take the hardest beating normally. Its the smallest amount of play that turns in a domino effect of wear

[@ivanpecenicic7762]

Where can i find inner cv joints? I have truble to find one for e46 and for e30..

Restore It and yet the Russian folks in the comments complain that you didn’t: a) Plate the covers b) Test the shafts are true c) Apply the loctite properly Etc. They also suggest that the ends weren’t welded, but rolled, and thus can be somehow separated. I do love your video though and just wanted to let you know some of these things.

[@Mumbungua]

The car you're working should go into a museum in an exploded view so people can walk in amongst all the parts to see exactly how much work you've done.

[@krisgutierez]

Inspirational thank you I would have never thought of doing that am a e36 owner once again thank you

[@e30mark]

Wonderful work, please feel free to restore my E30 Touring! As a side note, loctite is anaerobic, meaning it cures when oxygen is excluded. So it needs to be applied to the thread, then assembled forcing out the air around it. Keep up the great work 👍

[@mitarb7780]

Thanks for the great video. Congratulations Mitar

[@jakobmansson5055]

Oi! Great work as always! A tip though... Don´t use any kind of gloves when you operate the bench grinder or for example a drill press. If you get stuck with the gloves your hands could get really hurt. Keep up the great work!

[@RestoreIt]

Cheers Jakob! I need to hear things like this so I really do appreciate it.

[@zethes66]

Love your videos man. Great attention to detail. When you're using loctite it's important to put it on the threads before you thread them in, and a little bit goes a long way. Keep up the great work!

Your car is going to be one sweet show piece! I can't wait until you're able to start piecing it back together. I think many of your viewers feel the same--almost as anxious and excited as you are. Take care, my friend. See you soon.

Thank you, Gary! I couldn't agree more. I definitely won't be driving it in the wet. Not a hard thing to accomplish in Spain :D Once the chassis arrives on Sunday and the bodywork videos start, It won't be long until she's painted and things can start going back in. I'm very excited to have her back! Cheers, Gary, you too. Speak soon.

[@bart_langedijk]

For securing those clamps I usually just use some regular pincers, they work just fine only you need to make sure you don't pinch the boot. But seeing that you have the tool on your way that will likely make it even easier

His cv boots doesnt show any tear,so internal parts should be okay.

[@Johnathan_Waters]

I agree 100%. This doesn't make any sense, unless it's purely academic? Those CV's came apart WAAAAYYYY too easily. :(

[@HeIsTheHighlander]

Loctite you're using is anaerobic adhesive. It works only when there's no oxygen around, for example, inside a thread. That's why any Loctite container should never be full. There're 3 major types of Loctite: red - strongest, for things which should not be disassembled anymore, still can be disassembled with heating; blue - for things which are planned to be serviced with disassembly; and green - weakest of them. I think it's a good idea to remove the screw, clean out green Loctite and apply blue prior you screw it back. Thanks for this nice video, and sorry for my English, it's not perfect but I think it's better than your Russian :)

Awesome work! Really love your channel and your restorations! I noticed in the BEFORE and AFTER scenes and wondered if a mistake happened: Aren't the smaller ends of the big black gaskets on the welded side supposed to be further into the middle, sitting in the groove.

Before taking the ball bearings out, you should scribe a line across the outside of the bearing to the inside of the cage. This will allow you maintain the orientaton of the ball bearing channels when putting it back together again. Otherwise it may wearout prematurely!

[@DavidScheiber]

you know the other end just pulls apart right? unless they are some weird bmw thing and welded together. if not...yea it pulls apart, just tug on one end of the shaft while holding the other edit: i noticed you said they were welded together, in my experience they sometimes they look like that but the all come apart the same

[@joaopitaes8263]

Those metal brackets are suposed to be tighten with pliers, the ones who arent tighten with a screw. they might come lose if you dont. The loctite goes in the threads before screwing, it hardens with a absence of oxigen, and the green loctite is really strong for such a screw, you might not be able to unscrew it later, the red or blue loctite might be better for stuff like that. Nice video, keep the good work :D
