Great job man! A tip: use neutral dish detergent or petroleum jelly to mount the rubbers instead of the grease. The grease attacks the rubber, it can cause a shortened service life (due to dryness of rubber).

When you had the puller tool on the abs rings while at full tension, you could of tapped the top of the puller with a hammer with moderate force/not hard and the shockwaves would of budged the ring upwards, has worked for me many times

Love the work as always. Next time you need to press on something like the ABS rings, consider heating them in the oven first. Grease them up like you did, and they should slip right on without risking warping or cracking with a hammer (or a lot less force).

I love your videos! They inspire me to work on my cars at a higher level. When I get the space, everything will be at your level. I do question the use of a regular painting system on suspension components and whether they will hold up. I've always been of the opinion that chassis components should be sprayed with epoxy or powder coated.

It is interesting to note the differences and similarities between the E30 & E36. I had to change the rear wheel bearings on my E36 and one of the driveshafts was an absolute pig of a job to get out as it was stuck on the hub. In the end, I used the Clarke CHT240 hub puller to get it out. I had to replace my front lower control arms as well. A popular mod on the E36 is to fit E30 lower control arms. I just replaced like for like along with the "lollipop" bushes. This car will be like new once it is done and will add value to an already very desirable M3.

Very nice job. My compliments. I’m so relieved you didn’t use rattle can paint to paint these suspension members like so many guys that do KZfaq videos. Rattle can paint is inferior to what you used,much more proper for suspension pieces in wet environments.
