Time to replace my rear strut mounts, the cause of all the clunking I hear.

Meanwhile, more M50 parts in from BMW Concord.

How'd you get it out? I went the dry ice route with mine and had a genuine good time wailing on it with a hammer.

I used a pry bar and it came out in big chunks. Then there were several chunks that just would not give out. So I used the heat gun then scraped it off. After that, soaked the paint in WD40 and scrubbed away.





A little photo op after a wash from last night and before I started on the trunk.
