I have some play there also.. Bentley says there is special tools required. Did anybody replaced that seal? Is DIY-able or I really need special tools?

You can use a steering hub puller from pep boys. The "special" tool is a thin-walled 30mm socket for the retaining nut (much like a wheel bearing nut). Hazet has a nice one for about $40 (Maryland Metric can get it for you)...or, just go to pep boys, buy a regular 30mm impact socket and grind it down....I just did this as a matter of fact...not really all that much grinding. I ordered the lovely socket, but it ended up taking 2 weeks to ship from da faderland don't cha know. cheers!

I ordered the socket from Maryland Metrics (google them!). http:// mdmetric.com/ I believe you can also order one from Steve at the Ultimate Garage http://www.ultimategarage.com/Parts/bmwtools.html In my older cars (e30s) I use Redline MTL. For your car, to my knowledge Mobil 1 ATF is just fine. I like Redline products, but they are harder to come by... r/jpg On Apr 7, 2007, at 3:06 PM, Ivan Demkovitch wrote: > Any advise on where to buy this piece of art? I like nice tools :) > > BTW.

These are the round euro-type ones. Anybody know how to disassemble those connectors so I can get the ground hooked back up?
