KROWBAR Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Sorry if this is a repeat but could not find anything using "search" The service manual uses part #363691 for the 22mm hex front wheel removal tool. Online BMW parts place came back with part #90886363691 for $16.20US. No description though. Product NAME = 83300402229 S. Does anyone know if this is the part I'm looking for? Another way to order it? THX Link to comment
johnlt Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Many are using a 3/8 drive spark plug socket with a hex end that fits pretty well. Just put an extension on the "inside" of the socket and wa-lal, a cheap tool. Link to comment
bimmers Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I just got a std tool from Cycle gear for a few bucks. The spark plug socket is another great idea. Link to comment
Dave_C Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 +1 on the Cycle Gear part. Link to comment
KROWBAR Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Cool. Thanks All. Link to comment
97oilhead Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I picked up a 22 mm bolt and a couple of 22 mm nuts. Jammed the nuts on the bolt, part of my tool kit now. Cost $1.00. Link to comment
bobbybob Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Lotsa cheap ways to REMOVE the axle but many do not allow a torque wrench to be applied to them when tightening. I would recommend torquing the front axle for sure, so a purpose-made tool would be preferred, i.e. Cycle Gear etc Link to comment
markgoodrich Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 You can put a torque wrench on this, Bob: Link to comment
bobbybob Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 You can put a torque wrench on this, Bob: What, are you one of those anti purpose-made-tool Nazis? Smart-a$$. Now go eat your spagetti-o's, Bozo. Link to comment
AZgman Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Yeah! What's your point?! Don't deprive me of spending money on tools! Link to comment
markgoodrich Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Those three pieces are all antiques. The crap new stuff is inexpensive, but if you were to try to collect all three pieces on ebay or through the various antique tool collecting sites, you'd easily spend $180. Just try, for instance, to find a Montgomery Ward socket extension like the one in the photo. I guess I could let the set go for $125 to an ST member. Link to comment
Jim VonBaden Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I simply cut the top off an old 13/16" spark plug socket. You can also get a great tool from www.marcparnes.com for about $30. I use his and they are great! Jim Link to comment
