Special or DIY tool required to do them on the car.
One of the more hateful jobs on an E30 but piece of cake when youve done loads :roll:
Where abouts in the country are you?
If local to South Devon then id be happy to help.
Think a garage price would be about 3hrs plus parts plus VAT?

Horrible job on a project car that you do not need for work the next day!My local indipendent BMW specialist(Forrest Motors) charged me £116 to do this job.Do use a BMW specialist,I have seen quotes of more than double that price elsewhere.
