If you click on the purple underlinned words, they are a step by step. |
7 series *drools* i want to graduate to a 7 in the next couple of years.
Unfortunately the step by step i had a mechanic access for me mentioned the removal of the harmonic balancer to access a few of the bolts, so im gonna play it safe and wait. i don't want to move forward until i have exactly what i need.
However he did also look up on how to open a stuck glove box which im gonna try in a bit as soon as it stops raining (argh) if you lift the handle all the way up as if you're opening it, it is apparently possible with a pair of needle nose pliers to get up behind the handle manually influence the latch to release.
also on models where the handle is trimmed out by a frame like piece that piece can be removed and then the entire handle/ latching mechanism is exposed and then can be worked with the same needle nose pliers as the ones you would use to reach up behind it and maneuver the release. if not entirely unscrewed and removed from the door.
not sure how accurate any of that is as i haven't tried them yet i will post what i find, probably tomorrow if it doesn't rain (again)
but i do thank all of you for your assistance.
gosh i love my E34 530i
