Great thread!
Where did you buy those LED reverse bulbs please? Part #?

It's the DSSR215. I see if you look at the DSSR section, it's not there. I found it when selecting the SSK and then adding the DSSR215. Here is screen shot using my phone.

I had work today but got the pilot bearing tool. I research the bread method and it worked like a charm. Only took a slice and a half of white bread. I used the BMW plastic tool and just used the Dremel to cut of the ring which you use to pull. Then used the 2.5lb hammer and about 25 good smacks it popped. Cleaned out the inside and then added the new BMW pilot bearing using a 22mm long socket and a regular hammer to tap it in. The old one was ok but it wasn't smooth like the new one.

Here it is installed. Next up is the FW install with clutch kit.

Wait, a DSSR for a 318is? I couldn't find one, and I want one

[monty23psk]

Yes thanks. Actually now I have two. I got the bushing socket and it came with one pretty installed.

Got mor time to work on car while m20 flywheel gets the works. I found a local shop to swap out the m42 ring gear and add it to the m20 fw. This way, I don't need to modify the m42 starter or purchase a m20 starter. Getting it down for the price of a good used m20 starter. I am also looking at getting the TDC flywheel lock hole added to the m20 flywheel. Not a need but a want.

Today I swapped out the rear engine seal and started the cleaning the back of the block. I used the adapter to tap in the new seal used blue hylomar for the seal/carrier fitting. My rear seal was not leaking but rather swap it out now while in there. I have the pilot bearing to replace, and that is next.

I first drilled a tiny hole into the seal and the screwed in a machine screw. Then using the back of a hammer, I pulled the seal out. 10 mins total. Used the trick I read only a few times.

The parts, using BMW brand where I can:


After the install:


The pilot bearing:


Next up, will be the pilot bearing replacement, installing the flywheel, still debating on getting it lightened with the clutch masters stage 1 clutch and pressure place. I have all brand new OEM bolts and hardware straight from BMW for this install. More pictures to come.
