    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?

    wow going in dry with the new bushes... ouch

  • @dawhitecastle

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

    • @MrTurboDima
      @MrTurboDima 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      not with this tool

  • @zanastumasonis
    @zanastumasonis ปีที่แล้ว

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

    • @kman8325
      @kman8325 ปีที่แล้ว

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

  • @hlq2action310
    @hlq2action310 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Should you have greased the threads?

    • @TheBimmerBarn
      @TheBimmerBarn  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah for sure grease em up, these still had machining lube on them out the box

  • @ethanknight167
    @ethanknight167 2 ปีที่แล้ว

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

    • @TheBimmerBarn
      @TheBimmerBarn  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

  • @artdell
    @artdell 2 ปีที่แล้ว

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

    • @TheBimmerBarn
      @TheBimmerBarn  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

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

  • @gallarzo916
    @gallarzo916 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    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
      @TheBimmerBarn  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!

  • @zanastumasonis
    @zanastumasonis ปีที่แล้ว

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

  • @kman8325

    Fyi man, tool you linked to is no longer available

  • @ardyfirman9389
    @ardyfirman9389 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Bim, can we use this tool also for removing n instaling ball joint?

    • @TheBimmerBarn
      @TheBimmerBarn  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sure, I don't see why not! I've used this on many applications, always seems to be there when I need it.

  • @jameswan670

    This tool does not allow to use impact wrench. Very poor quality of the thread.
