    Oil pan goes back together with some cool music. So grab your favorite beverage, your favorite smoke, sit back and enjoy Part 2!

    Seeing how much more work to do on an X BMW (AWD) to do an oil sump drop etc, I’m happy I got a non-X E90/N52!
    Thank you for showing your work!

    Will I need a wheel alignment after this job?

    • @themechanic2.060
      @themechanic2.060  Год назад +1

      Technically yes, because almost everything came apart, but the tie rods weren’t disturbed so you could go a bit without one. I recommend you do. As I got this BMW aligned the next day.
      Thanks for your support! 👊🏼

  • @anonnon2278

    Do you have to align it after taking all that suspension stuff off?

    • @themechanic2.060
      @themechanic2.060  Год назад

      Honestly you don’t have to because we never disturbed the tie rods, but we do align it every time we do one. It’s good practice and a complete service.
      Thanks! 👊🏼

    Hey ! Job looks great so far didn’t realize how much was involved. Can you tell how much the job cost to do ? My oil pan is cracked and has to be replaced.

    • @themechanic2.060
      @themechanic2.060  Год назад

      Yeah.. it cost the customer roughly 1300 bucks, gasket and labor. Expect more with the additional oil pan.

    Do you have to remove the Axle nut and pull the CV Axle from the steering knuckle? Couldn't you just leave that part out and remove it from the diff for each Cv axle?

    • @themechanic2.060
      @themechanic2.060  2 года назад

      Yes. You have to remove the nut and pull the axle out from the spindle. You can’t leave it attached at the spindle and attempt to pull the axles from the diff. There’s not enough room to drop the subframe, leave the axles attached and expect to remove them from the diff. Even if you could barely do that, the reinstall would a friggin nightmare. It’s easier to pull the axles, and it’s the right way. Thanks for the comment! Hope you’re subscribed.

    • @themechanic2.060
      @themechanic2.060  2 года назад +1

      It’s an inverted Torx. I’m using an E10 or E12 inverted Torx socket. I don’t remember which lol. You’ll need a good set of Torx sockets. E sockets and T sockets.

    Hello, did you have to remove the power steering pump from the oil pan as well?

    • @themechanic2.060

      No. The power steering pump doesn’t get removed.

    Super video! Planning on trying to tackle my 2012 335i xdrive oil pan gasket here soon. Doing it on jack stands might be a little more uncomfortable lol. I think I have all the parts necessary, but i need to order the front differential o ring. Does it take a whole 1 liter bottle for the front diff? I was going to do front and read and got a liter of liqui moly 75w90 on fcp euro.

    • @themechanic2.060
      @themechanic2.060  Год назад +1

      I believe you’ll need a quart for the front diff and better get 2 for the rear.
      Good luck my friend!

    When I bought my bmw 328xi 07 it never came with this hook I looked for it everywhere but can’t find it. I need to do this job also the question I have for you, is on fcp euro this is called the towing eye hook and you say this is also used to hold the engine up ? Is this the right part that I’m looking at ?? Much thanks brother man. Edit upon further research this is the tool that I need for the job ! cheers man video is very helpful as I’m no master but love to learn these things around my bmws

    • @themechanic2.060
      @themechanic2.060  2 года назад +2

      That’s great. I’m so glad I could be of help!
      And yes the tow hook is the correct part intended for towing and holding up the engine. If you have an owner’s manual, it tells you were it’s stored. You probably now this already… it’s in that plastic storage/pocket/cover on the right rear corner of the trunk. Above were the battery sits. There is a false bottom on that cover/storage assembly. It’s in there. Did you look there? Anyway thanks for the great comment. You’ll knock out that pan gasket, no problem. Take care & good luck.

      Well, everything I showed is basically what is involved in doing this job. If you’re mechanically inclined you should get through it. Also I’m new to this Filming thing. I will get better at the smaller details. If you have any questions on the procedures, I’ll try to to answer them here…
