in order to dont accumulate to much pressure until the hole thing explodes you can apply a little bit of pressure and then release pressure by repeatedly hitting the assembly with a hammer. Is just a security tip I think hahahaha. But good work.

I was waiting for that bolt you were using for pressing to ping off and smack you in the face! Good vid

seeing how good that POR15 looks is making me regret using Black smooth Hammerite on mine!

@@BadE30 I've ordered some POR15 to compare..I use the POR15 Metal Prep..but follow that with Hammerite Red Oxide then Hammerite Smooth Black...need to try with POR15 direct to metal....

Very happy with it, especially as even after pressing in the ball joints, there was barely a mark on them!

Is the arms for e30 and e36 the same ? Because in my e36 have the e30 arms

@polloloci21 3 ай бұрын

Thanks- what size shop press do you have? (For example- 12 Ton, 20 Ton)

@BadE30 2 ай бұрын

It was using a cheap '20 ton' press but I highly doubt it would do near that. 12 ton would suffice.

@@BadE30 thanks man. Gonna buy one soon- wanted to make sure it would do the trick. Thanks again
