5 Lug AND Big Brake Kit (BBK)

[elcoy]

ok what if bearing fails and we need an individual component? are you planning to have these indefinitely or can we get some blueprints with out purchase in case we have to have a replacement part machined later down the road?

The rear of the kit bolts on, so it can simply be unbolted when parts need to be replaced. I actually way over torqued the hub nut for the front on one side when I was installing it. It smashed the front wheel bearing so I had to pull the whole thing off. Overlooking the added frustration of having to take apart what I just put together, I learned it can be taken apart. I did have to use a bearing puller to pull it back apart, but its the same as replacing a normal wheel bearing with basically a spacer in the wheel bearing to take out. Just don't throw the machined part away! I was able to reassemble with the same parts I tried to install the first time.

I plan to keep selling them as long as people are interested in them! Inventory is getting low however and Nasieg has a full machine schedule for the next month and a half unfortunately if anyone is on the fence and wants one right away.

Let me know if that didn't answer your question. But really I "replaced" a front wheel bearing with the kit, just unfortunately the wheel bearing had 0 miles on it :(

i meant what if there is some sort of catastrophic failure that causes damage to a nut or a bushing etc, not just simply when it comes time to replace a component.

I suppose we can cross that bridge when we get there. I would split up a kit if that really happened, not going to leave a customer hanging! I'm nothing but my reputation on the internet when it comes to this stuff, and that's important to me.

Updated a couple part numbers in the instructions document. My supplier had rear/front backwards on the 540i brake calipers, and the euro (wrong size) E46 325i rotor. I had the correct description, but wrong numbers! Thanks to the members who noticed it!

If you find a way to cause catastrophic failure to any of the parts of this kit without completely wrecking your car you must be some kind of magician sir....

You've obviously never had a wheel bearing fail

I spoke before I thought. I see what you mean now by damaging the adapter which is essentially the bearing race now. I guess just stay up on replacement schedule and this wont happen.

One kit left! Then they will be on back order due to machines being booked.

Alright, after jburns posted his pics ehich look really good btw, the parts, fitment and everything. I'm starting to get really interested in the kit. Can I ask you the ball park figure of what it all cost you after the kit for all other necessary and misc parts needed for final installation. Thanks @jburnsbmw
