Hi :)

Question 1

We are continuing with our M50 swap to our E30. Any precautions / methods for disconnecting / removing the air conditioning?

Question 2

When the M50 is removed is there any maintenance that would be beneficial, while it's out?

Remove pipe fixing bolts at arms length and outside, preferably on a breezy day :)

And watch your fingers, the gas comes out mighty cold and can burn ya winkeye

Other than the nasty Kyoto breaching gases all you'll find in there is a bit of oil.

You should really get the gas removed by a registered operator! Showing my age again!

Hi :)

Thanks for the feedback guys. We're having a full day on the project this Thursday so the help will be put to practice then.

Thanks again :)
