Anyone have a DIY on wheel bearings?
Mine passanger side has gone down the way side and I need a new one. I know they're press fit and I have a press but never done one on a Z before.
Thanks Phill

If you wait a week I'll do one. I will be doing the bearings this weekend if I am home. If not look on you tube. There is a video of a 330i which has the same bearings as us. I have a link saved on another computer, I believe on an E46 forum of the write up. If you google it you will find it.

Get on ebay and order the TIS disk. Kinda like a less user friendly Hanes Manual for BMW's. If you know wheel bearings then you need just need a little more or the particuliars, torques, etc.
Good Luck Bruce

Mine is still in the mail so it'll be a min. I'm hoping this weekend to do this so we'll see if it gets here. I saw the one on the 330i on youtube but was unsure if it was the same bearing.
This is what I get on the TIS http://tis.spaghetticoder.org/s/view.pl?1/09/66/53 . . . nothing. . .

I got my TIS in the mail and holy hell is that complicated, also there was NOTHING on the disk about bearings, entered inthe year make and model under noises but bearings weren't there. Oh well, I'm doin mine today here in a few so we'll see.

Well i did I changed out my bearing today and holy ISH! Took WAY longer than it needed to. I had to remove they entire rear control arm hub assembly together and the half-shaft!
Oh well, its so smooth now but it was a MAJOR PITA! The next one will go smoother now that I know what to do!

Why did you have to remove the control arm hub assembly? I did both of my fronts on saturday. Biggest pain was trying to get the puller on the inner race. Once I found the right setup it came right off. The drivers side was not toast but decided to do it anyways and the inner race came off smoothly without the puller.
