Front wheel bearings are bolt on. As long as you have the large socket and a 3/4 breaker bar and torque wrench that goes to 214lb/ft you are good to go.

I just did my front wheel bearings on the e28, both, in under an hour :)

Jimbo no house contruction wood man... Get some real shit!

If you need a wheel bearing and need it fast. Contact my sponsor, bimmerzone

info@bimmerzone.com or bimmerzone.com and call them. Ask for Vincent and see if he can ship it to me before Thursday(normally 1 or 2 day ship) and I can bring a fresh one.

Tell him I told you to call, Halston, and he will hook you up I promise :)

Not always, I've had a few that were a pain in the ass to remove, had to pull out the big gear puller and pull them off the spindle. Now on my current e30, they were a piece of cake, removed the big nut and the they just slid right off.

[dinanm3atl]

Well you may need a puller. That is possible but people have those :)

[dinanm3atl]

roflmao

What was the story there?

[mattdk318i]

apparently theres a curfew after 11pm. And spasticdwarf and i were driving around at oh.......3AM!!!!!
So the cop told us to camp out at their shithole "community center" until the next morning.
Needless to say, Finding you guys is mandatory this time.

[dinanm3atl]

We will be where we are supposed to be this time :)

Update Looks like there is even NCHP stepping up patrols in the area. Also BCSO are in several different unmarked cars now on the dragon. Here is a quote taken from www.tailofthedragon.com

May 2-4 : Probably the busiest week-end so far this year with MiniCoopers dominating the area roads. A power failure in the Deals Gap/Fontana area made things a little difficult on Saturday. We heard NCHP were active on the Cherohala and on the 4-lanes. Remember, the 4-lanes are prime target areas in North Carolina.

We heard a number of cars were ticketed on NC 28 while driving in a group even though only one was actually clocked. Troopers use "probable cause" to write the entire group. We suggest complaining by phone to the Clerk of Court or County DA about such outrageous tickets. Contact us for more information here.

There is an unmarked white BCSO Expedition cruising the Dragon. They also have an unmarked black Explorer and black Mercury Marquis. We have also heard of tickets issued for 42 and 44 mph in the ridiculous 30 mph area.
