So today we learned that sometimes it's worth it to just go out there and buy the right tool for the job. Good news is, I'm sure this bearing/bushing sleeve kit will see plenty more usage in the coming months. Let me know what you thought of this tool!

it's best to use antiseize on the threads to help prevent the threads from damaging from the torque

Usually you want to grease those threads prior to use.

I’ve got the same kit, the thread on the nut was striped. On the first use and the bush did not budge

Thanks for the feedback! Let me know if there's anything you think I should cover in upcoming videos, we'll be getting pretty technical with wiring, engine timing, and more.

If I were installing OEM bushings, I would need to use the same remove tool to install the bushings?

Ummm so can this be done with the subframe still mounted ? Not really trying to drop this out

@MrTurboDima 6 ай бұрын

not with this tool

@zanastumasonis Жыл бұрын

would lightly greasing the threads help? shouldnt make it worse right?

@kman8325 Жыл бұрын

I believe the instructions of many kits like this say to grease the threads.

What's your opinion on this tool being enough to replace the rear sub-frame bushings? Would it be an adequate substitute for the Koch tool you rented in the prior video? '02 525iT and wanting to do full power flex bushings under the car as I've already transitioned to poly motor mounts.

@TheBimmerBarn 3 жыл бұрын

Hey I went and made some measurements and this kit won't house a large enough bushing to work for the subframe bushings. The special tool for the subframe bushings is made to fit within the grooves of the bushings made for that tool, so its the only way, besides just heat and hammering. Good luck!

Hey bro, great video, what size diameters did you use on the front ?

@TheBimmerBarn 2 жыл бұрын

Wish I remembered, but I'm not sure. Sorry!

@ethanknight167 2 жыл бұрын

Would this work on the subframe bushings or do you need the specific tool

@TheBimmerBarn 2 жыл бұрын

For the E39 you're either going to need the special tool, or use the sledge-hammer method with heat. This bushing tool wouldn't work on that bushing due to its design.

@zanastumasonis Жыл бұрын

also i wouldnt recommend poly bushings, unless with very high hardness, they usually dont hold up...
