#3. RE: [E36M3] looking for instructions - from Goss, Patrick - PA

Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2007 09:33:03 -0500 From: "Goss, Patrick - PA" <Patrick.Goss@GMACM.COM> Subject: RE: [E36M3] looking for instructions It really is that easy Bob. I have the same set, and the only thing I would suggest which may not be obvious is bumping up the tire pressure to eliminate tire to ground bulge so the plates plane out better perhaps. No instructions in my kit either, and the only place you can get into trouble is with a soft sidewall tire where when pulling the tape to eliminate the slack, you flex the sidewall. After some practice you'll get the feel of it, just pull each tape with equal amounts of muscle. I wouldn't use these to replace a professional computer alignment, but rather a base to roll around on until you get it to the shop after suspension work. Working on a perfectly flat level surface helps get it closer, as does settling the suspension assuming you jacked the car up to get access to tie rods/rear control arm eccentric bolts. Jack up, adjust a little, jack down, roll the car, measure, repeat. They are helpful if you are messing/repairing your suspension frequently and trying to save repeated shop expense.

#8. slave cylinder - from Brian Ruiz
Top
Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2007 03:05:19 -0700 From: "Brian Ruiz" <eurowerke@gmail.com> Subject: slave cylinder Good evening everyone, I just replaced my slave cylinder tonight, and had a couple small questions. After an initial bleed with the pressure bleeder, the Bentley said to press and release the clutch pedal slowly about 10 times. Well, I did that, but instead of pushing slowly, it popped to the floor like it was magnetized. I gasped "crap!" but then realized it was probably just a bunch of air still in the cylinder. I guess I just figured it would still be at least slightly stiff. I unbolted the cylinder again and started doing the hand bleeding procedure that the Bentley then calls for, by pressing in the piston and opening the bleeder, then closing and releasing the piston slowly. That seemed to work, and after a few runs of that, I decided to check to see if the pedal was getting stiffer. I pushed on it with my hand, then heard a somewhat loud pop noise, and figured the piston had shot out or something and there would be a whale of a mess underneath the car. Well, no such problems, to my surprise. I did notice however, that the metal plate seal on the end of the cylinder was a slight bit deformed in a way it hadn't been initially. I figure I probably killed the unit and it will probably start leaking again on me in about 2 months, but it seemed fine for the other couple hours I still had the cylinder unbolted. I bent the seal back flat as best I could, hoping for the best. Anyone know for sure that I killed it? :-P Another question: I did a (probably) weak 11 psi for the initial bleed-out. Was that too low? Bentley says not to exceed 29 (!) psi, but I for some reason recall seeing not to exceed 12psi on the Motive instructions. What bleeding pressure is recommended? On the piston tip, I also used a dab of silicon grease instead of moly grease. I think I have some moly grease but I didn't realize moly was required until after I had bolted the unit back up to the transmission and checked back on the Bentley again. I also figured that since the piston tip cap was plastic, a silicon grease would be advisable. Should I remove the unit and replace the grease with moly instead? Thanks in advance! Brian build 8/95
