Does this one not fit the rear diff? I haven’t looked all that closely.Quote:

No that doesn't fit the rear diff bushing. One of the pucks in there works for pulling it through though.
This is what I used from my ball joint press set:

New rear brakes (rotors, pads, sensors). All parts from FCP Euro, installed by my local indy. Total cost $370. Last time done from stealership: $639.
Very happy camper...
Back at it

Washed it. Haven't driven it in months.
I see Smolck is back. Welcome :)
I’ll never have another thing done (other than recall) at a stealership. Last time I went in for my airbag recall they conducted a ‘safety check.’ They quoted me $1100 to replace 2 worn rear shocks and $900 for two Michelin Pilot Sports.Quote:

$1,900.00 at the stealership vs $800.00 DIY. No-brainer.
Did you install Z4 FCAB’s? The front wheels look like they’re not centered in the wheel well...Quote:

The ZHP has only been there for state and pre-track inspections, but for someone who isn’t working on their car (cough cough—my parents), we’ve had a really good experience. However if our S/A were someone *not* named Saad Mubarak, I’m sure I’d be singing a different tune.
I like those wheelsQuote:
