Post by ealinn »

Gotta round up some tools to go swap out a grenaded water pump on my '87 535is and was wondering if you guys could help me round up a tool list.

Thanks

add anti-seize to the water pump bolts when you put them back in - observe the torque settings when bolting on the new WP If you use a high quality sealant such as Wurth DP 300, no need to use the paper gasket.
