I've just did everything except rising the engine to remove rack Can you explain my car is opposite to yours driving side so you are rising or lifting engine from oil pan ? Am I right ? But didn't understand you said raise from left when you remove it and raise from right once you insert ?Will I face problem if I put a piece of wood and cartoon small piece and raise from the center
Sroor9001 Steering rack is the thickest by connection to steering column, so you should take it out from opposite side than me, as yours is left hand drive right. Jack up engine by setting your piece of wood slightly to your passenger side, (Oil pan is ok, engine will go up evenly on both sides) that will give you more working space around. Good luck
I'll give a try next weekend already had installed one which is rebuilt but it's leaky Took one from scrapyard now and it seems reservoir was full so it's ok ;) so Iam happy to do the job 2nd time with more confidence
Good job but it needs to be put on a rack those two-by-fours come down on you you won't be a happy camper and who wants to work on it on their back. Find a buddy that'll let you use his rack get it up in the air save your life and save time other than that the work was excellent. Oh and don't forget to take it to an alignment shop a good one
GulfBmw forums sroor9001 Sroor Like ...I've described... The way I did it, I found much easier, for ME. It's up to yourself how will you approach to it.
Viktor VIctorious I mean by raising car and lift it and supporting it ,with jack stands it's not possible or I can do that ? But how did you remove toe rods before rack removal I get hard time one day and gave up :(
When car is on stands, dropped bracket might take most of your working space underneath the engine, access to bolts is a bit difficult as well. It's possible, with a proper approach. Rods... Correct sized tool and hammer would do 😏😉
Been looking for a good tutorial on how to do this and I’ve just found it thank you
Currently in the process of doing this on a E90 7 hours in and just got the new rack installed
Thank u for the video, have a nice day ma friend 😊
Do you know if the car is equipped with a servotronic ?
It looks easier the way you have done than removing heavy bracket ;)
I'll check online how many bolt is there and is it possible to remove it while supported on jack stands ? Hope it's possible
Good work Viktor, it looked like an awkward job to do..
👍👍👍

Amazing but why you don't remove bracket isn't easier ?

If you are able to use a lift, removing bracket might be easier way.
