Does anyone have a 14mm allen key for the fill and drain plugs on the diff?
I probably have one. Will have to check when I get home tonight.
Thanks Ed.
there's gotta be an easier way to get a hold of you so here is my email and you can give a time and location to me. Sounds good? Thanks again

Hey, I'm an orton gillingham tutor specialized for children with dyslexia, but i know how to take apart any e36 bmw from the ground up, i also do body work and minor paint work , i can do sounds and the wiring mess that comes with that, really anything that comes to an e36 manual labor i can do, i have a turbo 98 m3 right now that is broke and im now fixing that! would love to learn how to weld different metals and figure out some other things! always happy to lend a hand or my knowledge when it comes to bmw's! or cars in general!
Where are you E36 guys finding allen keys to change your diff fluid? I need a 17mm that I can cut either and inch off the small end or an inch off the handle to fit in that tight space between the diff and the spare tirewell. How are you guys doing it?
i used to use a 17mm bolt (the bolt head was 17mm), with nut welded to the threaded end of it...
unfortunately i dont have it anymore...in a pinch, i guess youd be able to use the same if you double-nutted the end of it if you couldnt weld it...

I live in Mililani and would be more than happy to give you a hand with it! i have a welder and would be happy to see if we cant do something like "poser" said! it may take some time but hey who cares! and i dropped my diff to do my own, so i didnt have that problem! but more than happy to help!

Hi everybody. Just bought it.
I'm a Marine stationed on K-Bay
Anyone know a good shop that will do work at a fair rate? I need to get my car raised pronto. I'm scraping the bottom on just about every speed bump and I'm pretty sure the right rear tire is rubbing on the body.
if its scraping on the outside of the tire, you can rent a fender roller and it will take care of that pronto. I had a 96 328i lowered ran 18's on it. I had the same rubbing issue in the back rolled the fenders and rubbing was gone. Much cheapier then getting the care raised!

If Zak left my old suspension on the car, raising it is very simple. All you need is a jack, an 17mm deep socket to remove the wheels and a 5 or 5.5mm allen wrench to unlock the ring. All available at the KBay auto skills shop. If you can use a tape ruler and you can get the wheel off, you can do this. PM me for instructions if you are up for it!
Cool. I can't seem to PM anyone. Guess its cus I'm new?
If by " KBay auto skills shop" you mean the hobby shop on base, that might be a problem. Last I heard it was shut down by the cops. Something about illegal inspections . . .
haha wow. well there is always pearl harbor or schofield. but yeah, if zak put the TC Kline setup on the car then changing the rear ride height is easy.
Okay. The Motor T guys said they'd hook me up. Am I gonna need a jack or some kind of lift?
A jack, or lift, either way. It really is simple. Congrats on a fun car dude.
