I'll get some more/better shots next time I get the car up in the air, though the cat has some scrape marks and a dent or two now...

Originally posted by agent View PostThanks! If you mean the driver side, I believe it's wiring for the fan override switch so I can run the puller full time if I want or need to. I'll double check...

Well it's been a few weeks since the Brodeo, though I forgot to share my thoughts on the diff. The 3.15 with the ZF is a great all-around combo for highway and mountain roads. It runs 76-77 mph at 3500. I think a 3.25 or a 3.46 would be a little better suited for keeping the revs in the power band on the twisties, though since Brodeos are at least a 3-4 hour drive from where I live, the compromise makes sense.
When I bought her the rear wheel bearings were already making some racket, and a week of hammering the car in the mountains made them decidedly worse. After hearing how quiet it was in Klaus' cabin last week - since I hadn't driven him in a while - I realized it was probably beyond time to address them. So yesterday they got replaced at my friend bimmerteck's place. His air condtioned garage was nothing short of awesome on a hot and humid (read: typical Tennessee Summer) day. Big thanks to him for the assist.
The day in cell phone pics of marginal quality:
Part of one bearing out
The other one out in tact
Hubs out
Having the right tools - or a friend with them - makes all the difference
And a couple of shots after the job was done and the test drive complete
