    0:42 Hi Alec, it’s great to see you working away, but I am a bit warped because when you said talked about breaking that nut loose, it gave me a chuckle!
    But, I did learn something new today, so I thank you for that.

    Every time I watch this guys videos, it gives me more confidence to work on my car. Though I’m more auto electrical, because of Alec I am gaining more confidence with mechanical. Keep it up bud💪🏽

    Oh heck yeah, this was something I was thinking about the other day and you read my mind! Basically breaking down parts of each system in the car and having a short video on it. You're the Professor X of BMWs!

    Love when Alec is showing us his tips! Just the tips…
    Great vid. Never thought about turning the rack in all the way before to remove the inner tie rod. Makes a lot of sense and will def do that in the future!
    That car is soooo clean.

    Always felt intimidated working on BMWs since I've only owned Japanese vehicles in the past until now. Feel a whole lot better with your channel if my car ever develops an issue. Thank you Mr! You do a great job explaining every step.

      You can always wiggle the wheels left to right and feel for play, or if the steering feels a little sloppy. They’re super cheap from FCP euro, 150 for the set I think?

    Man doing this job in the rust belt is a pita. You pretty much have to do inner and outer tie rods because with the rust its almost impossible to remove the outer tie rod from the inner. The car looks mint underneath though, I wish mine looked like that lol!

    Perfect timing on this video Alec! I will be replacing the tie rods on my E39 this afternoon with my kids. One tip I was told a while ago from an alignment guy is if you're not using OEM parts, you should use a tape measure instead of counting threads since the threads can be different. Cheers!

    I used a 32mm fan clutch wrench to loosen the inner tie rod nut when I did this on my E39 and it was a snug fit. YMMV, but others might find it helpful.

    • @DayOffDIY
      @DayOffDIY  20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I think last set I did on my e46 it wouldn’t fit , or the thin wrench started to fail, I wonder if it’s different sizes from e39 to e46?

    Hey Alec man, great video as always. I hope you don't mind me picking your brain just a little bit... as I had told you previously, I bought an E90 with the N52B25, 325i, manual transmission. When I start driving it in the morning, in low rpm's, the car is jerking along, almost like in a resonance frequency, and there's just a bit of clunking. I wonder if it's normal for this model. This is only when cold, as the car will be dumping fuel even below 1500 rpm. When it's warmed up and not keeping the revs up anymore, the jerkiness at low rpms is gone. What do you think?
