Official Southeast Fall e30 Rally - November 2nd-4th

[rs4pro3]

You'll need air or a big breaker bar. I'd have to double check the size of that nut

[dinanm3atl]

Won't I need air?

I don't have air nor a 32mm :(

Anyone confirm his sizes and if I need air?

I am excited for the rally though :)

Somsone bring something to help me change my axles :(

I have both axle gently used ready to go in :(

It's actually really easy. You need an 8mm (i think) hex on the differential side, a large (32mm i think) socket to remove the nut on the wheel side. Snap ring pliers, and hit the wheel end with a bar and they are out.

you don't need the tool, it's best to replace them right after they start making noise as they will come out easier. I did both my rear ones recently. I pounded out the old ones, threw the new ones in the freezer for a day, heated the trailing arms and dropped them right in.

So how about this, If you really want to go but cant put in the bearings that soon. Bring the replacements and ill bring the Tools just in case. And Skafrog will supply the beer and seating as originally proposed :D

I really want to go, and I really want to drive the e30. I don't think I can get the rear bearings done since I don't have the special tool. If you think the bearings will be ok then I'll bring it anyway, and if they fail, I'm sure a crowd of e30 guys can figure out how to help me!

If anyone is local with the tool and has time this Saturday I could pay about $100 to help me replace them.

Sounds good, I dont think you will have a problem with the rear bearings. They last a long time after they start making noise. However putting it through the dragon might not be the smartest idea.

[E30trash]

i might be down for this, ill know in about a week

[dinanm3atl]

I need to put my axles in :( Before this meet. Hopefully I will do it...

[trashcop 80s 80s]

I have two bearings actually. I have had them over a year and have not put them on. What is the worst that could happen from rear wheel bearing failure? They are making a whiny tornado sound right now, loll.

[mattdk318i]

I will show up with a friend, but I might not be able to bring the e30. It needs at LEaST a driver's side rear wheel bearing, really both.
