    Replace your Rear Bearings in 30 min (the proper way, no bmw tools)

    Just wanted to share a diy video I made when I changed both rear bearings. It is sooo easy, no grinding, no special bmw tool, using only the proper ebay tools for the job.
    Good luck!

    Nice vid. I’m in the middle of the rear brakes as I write this and I wish I saw this before. I’d have just done them now when it’s all apart...

    This is the vid I watched before doing my rear, passenger side bearing FAG(also Bosch quiet cast brake pads, Meyle rotors, rear Lemfoerder sway links, rear KYB struts, HD strut mounts from Meyle, and reinforcement plates for mounts.)
    The only tool I actually had to buy was the Wheel bearing removal and installation set, from Amazon for about $65-70.
    The bearing race separator, slide hammer and hub puller, axle puller, axle collar nut socket set, and torque wrench set, where loan from AutoZone.
    Yeah, you have to pay the whole price as a deposit, but after you are done(up to 90 days to use, at least here in Oregon) you get all your money back!
    Pretty cool for AutoZone! Thanks!
    It made it really easy, having the right tools, and it was my first time doing it, so it was hard enough already..haha
