#4. First Service - from Mark Greene

Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2001 03:55:58 -0400 From: Mark Greene <gsa@arpinintl.com> Subject: First Service Opinions? - I took my car in (96 2dr / 66000) for the first time for service because of the check engine, abs, asc lights being on. I also asked for an oil change and a four wheel align and for the decals replaced on the tires. I took the car to the local dealer, and I am in Rhode Island, and want to know if this sounds right or.....? They told me they needed: 2 tie rod ends to properly align - 495.00 align - 90.00 brake pads and rotors all around - 1150.00 (they said they always replace rotors with brake pads) lights were from wheel sensor i believe they said... 2 belts, and the oil, decals, i think that was it.....told me about 2100.00 for the whole deal. Is this in the ball park? Thanks, Mark Greene

#6. ITG air filter oil - from Steve Hazard
Top
Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2001 09:52:40 -0400 From: Steve Hazard <SHazard@nhboston.com> Subject: ITG air filter oil Vern, I did some research and went with the Twin Air Products. Twin Air is a well respected Motorcycle airfilter company. The product is great. I got the cleaning tub, and the oiling tub along with the two cans of fluid. The cleaning fluid has a Kerosene base to it, and the oil is bright blue. I use some rubber gloves to clean and reoil. Go to> http://www.twinair.com A couple neat things that I really like> 1)The cleaning tub has a wire bottom so your filter can't pick up the dirt again that is being cleansed from the filter. 2) When you re-oil the filter you soak it in the blue Oil. Then squeeze as much as you can out of it. I like this because I know the entire filter is coated. Let stand for an hour, or two and your ready to go! Last, I clean the filter everytime I have the oil changed, for me that's 4 indicator lights on the dash...Aprox 7.5K.... Hope this helps, Steve Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2001 23:38:23 -0400 From: Vern Anderson <vanderson@cerebellumsoft.com> Subject: ITG air filter oil Where is the best place to get cleaner and oil for the ITG air filter on my JC intake?

Other than the how-to-fix issue, you should give some thought to why it broke, and whether the root cause is unique to that bolt/wheel. Neil 96 M3

Ben writes: >>depends on how much of it is sticking out. if NONE is sticking out, you have to use something like an EZ-OUT bolt extractor. now that there is no tension provided by the bolt head, you should be able to get it out this way. if some of it is sticking out of the hub (with the wheel removed, brake rotor removed), you could grab the end with some visegrips and try that.<< If it does not come out easy with Vise-Grips or EZ-Out, I would use a propane torch to heat up the hub around the broken stud. It is amazing how easy things come apart with a little heat. Don't get too carried away with the torch though. It is not the best idea to burn out your wheel bearings. You certainly don't have to get the hub cherry red hot to do the job. Lowell Seaton '95 M3 Dallas, Texas

#10. broken wheel bolt idea. - from TFRM3@aol.com
Top
Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2001 12:32:14 EDT From: TFRM3@aol.com Subject: broken wheel bolt idea. For me, the best way to remove a broken bolt has been to use a left-hand (backwards) drill bit. Drilling a clockwise hole to insert a removal tool will at the least do nothing, and can often tighten the bolt further. And I don't know about anyone else, but I have broken enough ez-outs to last a lifetime. Now that I have seen the light in regard to left handed drill bits, I don't recall ever needing a removal tool since. The drill spins CCW and catches the bolt and unscrews it about 95% of the time. The other 5% of the time you are screwed.
