    I totally would but I need sedan rear seats and door cards. Local offerings all need to be re-upholstered.

    I finally got around to changing out my
    Power steering return line.

    I had purchased this line when I had to do a power steering pump replacement over a year and a half ago. I attempted to do it with the pump replacement but, couldn’t get the line off the radiator with the only available tools from the now junk parts stores.

    A few months back I made a $15-$20 investment in the proper tool and finally got around to using it.

    It does work fantastic and well with the money but, you do need to remove it after it released the locks, in order to get the line off. It’s hard to figure out what’s stopping something you can’t see!

    Nice, glad you made use of it. Having one would have made my life easier back when I was working on my lines

    I should get one of those, when I did mine I just cut off the connector with a dremel.

    That's how I end up doing it on a lot of cars unfortunately. Even with a whole bunch of line disconnect tools, the connectors get so crusty that they don't want to let go.

    I’ve been watching that current auction and it got me a little (BATty) so, had to give mine a good wash, even though it was kinda clean!

    I refreshed a Z4M steering wheel I will be trying out with the ZHP.

    (1) I cleaned and re-conditioned the Nappa leather (leatherique), used a heat gun to get rid of many of the creases/wrinkles in the 1-2 o'clock region.

    (2) Disassembled the steering wheel and wrapped the worn trim in Matte Black vinyl. Originally the entire trim is in a rubberized matte texture (aka plastidip) - which rubs off extremely easily. Just cleaning it will rub parts of it off.

    Half-way through, I decided it would look better if the trim was matte black and button surrounds were gloss black, so I went that route. Couldn't be happier, good contrast - plus gives the wheel my own personal unique touch!

    The trim pieces on these things are terribly cheap and their anchor points/clips are extremely fragile which I didn't expect. I ended up taking the thing apart, finding all of the broken pieces, and re-gluing them on. I would not want someone re-wrapping the wheel, they'll just break everything upon disassembly - it's that bad. Took 2 days total with the conditioning and things breaking (time for glue to cure).

    This might just may replace my M sport steering wheel. It's a tad smaller in diameter:

    BMW E46 M sport steering wheel: 14.5" outside diameter, 12.0" inner diameter

    BMW E85 M sport steering wheel: 14.0" outside diameter, 11.5" inner diameter

    Z4 steering wheel is one of the best mods for our cars, I can't go back to a standard wheel after using it. You will definitely enjoy it.
