E83 M54b30 engine sump gasket replacement

Recommended Posts

Easier to leave the stabaliser in place, disconnect the steering shaft, keep the lines bolted, loosen front arm at hub side and center one at the crossmember, then get to sideshafts and diff.

Nah its a "piece of urine mate"...well in a worshop that is??

Like around 4 hrs to remove brru. ...10-12 for the whole job

ResTecp for doing it on the floor though??. Let me know if you need any tools man. 

Put some brackets to hold the rack up while you replacing the gasket

Cable tie the stabiliser bar up before removing rack then remove it after before removing sump....you'll  know.

I put a thicker film of silicon on the metal and a lick on the rubber cos the surface area is so small. Also all that weight and inertia of the diff...not such a great design in my opinion to only be held by +-30 m6 bolts with no even dowel pins. 

I chuck some locktite on all subframe mounting bolts...just to help me sleep more peaceful at night

Hope you have some slim az forearms to get that steering shaft in....you have to pull it down as it collapses upwards...and dont bolt it to the frame. ...push the shaft in first..

Uhh..what else...oh yea....cable tie the rear subframe covers backwards so its easier to remove and fit it...youll know. 

Schweet. ...oh yea..diff seals and orings too

...and with that I might deal with it weeping for a little while longer ?

Thanks for the offer dude, I'll be in touch if I get brave enough!
