I am ok, thanks for the concern and support. Johnny, you proved my point. You are an ex mechanic with 15 yrs experience. That is why your car is so cool. But the average guy could never have transformed an e36 to make it look like you did. It would cost more than the car is worth, unless you are a mechanic which is what you are. And I am sure that you have a garage full of tools that you accumulated over the years. I am more level-headed now then when I first posted. My main point was if power tools are necessary, it should be stated. If I were to show you how to do something that I am good at, I would give detailed instructions such as 7mm hex wrench, 15mm bolt driver attached to a dewalt, etc. Bentley and pelican show a picture of a guy with a simple ratchet on a gloved hand removing the bolts. Bentley breezes over the rear caliper carriage bolts, never mentioning that they are tightened to 400lbs of torque. Arnold schwarzenegger couldn't get those bolts off by hand in his prime. I feel that haynes is more of an average diy type manual, but they don't have them for the 94 e34, only up until 91, which is similar but different. The haynes manual for bmw isn't available in stores either. Thumbs up to bimmerzone.com. Great parts at great prices with free shipping on orders over $75 btw. Even with paying the mobile mechanic to finish the job, I am still $200 ahead of the game, as opposed to going with the Indie shop, plus a bump on the head. I now know for next time that I need to invest in power tools before I do a job of this undertaking. What are some good power tools at reasonable prices while we are on the subject? It would have been nice to know this beforehand, that's all.
