    Tools available for local DIY projects

    I don't have any, of course, but a few folks suggested that we sticky a thread with available tools. Please use this thread only to post whatever special tools you have that you are willing to loan/rent out to other local users for DIY car projects. Please include contact information or specify that you want to receive PM's (only do this if you actually check your PM's often!).

    Let's see if this works.

    I have a Peake Research Oil Service and Inspection light reset tool. There's really no reason for anyone to borrow it but I'll gladly reset your light if I ever see you around.
    Also, I have a nifty grey handled double-sided screwdriver and a set of wrenches; 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, and 13mm.

    AKG RTAB removal tool for E30 and other older BMWs. Makes a messy and hellacious task otherwise simple.

    E39, E46, E36 Control arm/thrust arm bushing/tie rod removal tools. This press tool makes the outer ball joint incredibly easy...dont waste time with a pickle fork.
    45mm front hub nut socket with 1/2" adapter and custom inner race removal tool. Makes hub bearing chages a 30min job.

    14MM hex diff socket w/14mm spanner and 11mm 12mm flare nut tool for brakes

    I have the Carsoft 6.5 tool I got from Ebay. Functions like resetting service interval not working on my car, could be my DME. Anyone with the Peake tool want to compare notes?

    I'm actually in need of some mechanical advice/assistance on a brake bleed/antifreeze flush for my 98 M Roadster. I'm mechanically inclined but don't want to get into any major trouble by doing something that's not in the do it yourself manual I'm using. I will have the car on jack stands, wheels off, and have all supplies. I will pay for what I would think wouldn't take more than 2 hours of advice and the occasional help. I'm down here in stockbridge. Any takers...

    Not sure if it's the same as E36, but the bleed procedure is easy.
    Connect pressure bleeder.
    Pressurize.
    Turn key to "On" position (no motor running)
    Open farthest bleed screw
    With the screw OPEN, have your helper pump the brake pedal 10x (don't worry fluid will not go back in), which tells the ABS controller to bleed
    Close bleed screw
    Repeat for other 3 screws

    Note that for E30s this is the same, except you need 12 pumps.

    Peake R5/FCX-3-U good for 1987 - 2007. Yes, I went the extra $30 for the heck of it.
