replacing hood shock

[e30 Jeremy]

So how exactly do I do it? I heard you just have to remove the clips and that's it, and it's probably in the Bentley, but I am just too lazy to look it up. Thanks

SEARCH!!!!!! And you have at least one Bentley in the house....but instead you type at the computer? Damn man.....Jon needs to lay the smack down! :stickoutt

I figured people like you would reply. It'd probably be faster than me looking it up anyways :D

I think you've got it right....althugh I'm bad and have NEVER replaced one. The M3 probably needs one IIRC, but that is the LEAST of my concerns on that car. There may be a nut or something to remove/replace too.

But dude, it can't be THAT hard to just go out to the car with the new shock, look at it, and figure out the best way to go about it. This isn't rocket science....nor control arm removal!

lol, you're right. I have looked at it and know that I have to remove that clip. I think there is a screw holding it in place as well. Either way, I have to do it to two because I'm taking two out and swapping them.
