I wouldn't recommend using an adjustable crescent spanner for anything. But yes, get a proper (cheap) 32mm spanner and rubber mallet.

Fair comment.

Its just what I had available at the time.

Normally just get the complete bearing hub for the E30 - about 10mins to replace.

Works okay for a free homemade one.

Which bushings are you replacing, and are the suspension parts off the car?

If you are doing subframe bushings you will probably want a press as my tool is more for the smaller bushings.

You are welcome to bring your stuff around and I'll help you remove as many bushings as we can.

You can bring around by hex key you borrowed last time too.:P

Here it is in action installing a subframe bushing.

Don't mind the rags, they are just there to avoid scratching the freshly painted subframe.

Send me a text if you want to borrow it.

Anyone have a airbag reset tool for an E39? Asking on behalf of a friend. 

Have done some work on the passenger seat and the light came on. Pretty sure nothing wrong just needs to be reset.

 

Cheers

PA Soft/BMW Scanner should be able to reset that. I haven't done it myself, but would be happy to give it a go for you. :)
