We are probably close enough in geography that I'm sure I'd be able to lend you my bushing extraction tool, if you ever need it, without too much trouble.....after I use it twice
.
I've got a mountain of vehicle work pilling up.....
Along with the Tension strut bushings needing replaced on my F02, I have $1000 of brake pads and rotors sitting in the garage waiting for them to be installed on the 2014 F02, along with two transmission cooler O-ring seals right at the transmission cooler, needs replaced soon. It's making a mess on the driveway (good reason for my HOA to send me a unwarranted fine).
The '14 535 needs a water pump, belt tensioner, and front tension strut bushings replacement too.
BTW, the F02 B7 uses the same tension strut bushing as the F10 535. So I plan to use the Powerflex bushings on the F02 first. If I like it, the F10 gets them too - since I have the tool. If I don't like it on the F02, the F10 gets them anyways, and the F02 gets new BMW tension arm assemblies. So reality, I'm not going to "waste" $160 on the Powerflex bushings.
