E61 clutch easy or not???

Post Mon May 12, 2014 8:46 pm

Hi my mate has a 2007 520d E61 with the M47 motor 6 speed.
Its due a new clutch. Is it a straight forward job or to be avoided at all cost? Any info on times and tools I would be grateful for.
Thanks broadie

Piece of p iss.

Only tool you need is the clutch alignment tool, and a universal one won't do as its a self adjusting clutch.

These are the same on the 530D aren't they Barry?

Will these do the job as I've got my dads to soon

Yep, they are the ones Jamie.

As you can see there are different sizes for the different gearbox input shaft sizes.

Makes sense.

Will see if snap on do any - can't be having laser tools in my box

Thanks bbs325i.
I told him and offered to help but he's now going to take it to a so called specialist ££££

Oh well.
