          Only thing left to show up are the coils

          88cace11c51719fee7e660b98343810d.jpg

          Pads/lines/CSB/diff plugs showed up today

          As well as this gem front Blunttech

          bd172b3ef2377c0aaab1205f36dd31b5.jpg

          Also I lied, I have ate brake fluid&redline MTL showing up soon too. I was trolling craigslist in my area for shits and giggles and came across an ad for 2qts of redline 75w-90 and 2 gallons of BMW coolant. Guy wanted $50 for everything so I bought those as well-extra coolant isn't a bad thing to have on hand

                          Tricked myself into working on my car for 5 minutes

                          Got the DS back together with a new CSB. (Old one was installed incorrectly) -don't believe the Internet about installing the CSB "backwards" they are offset and put an angle on the DS at the CSB. I took a bunch of pics for the next thread I see about installing these backwards when using a 24v swap DS.

                          a234929982649272d262faecd8a393cc.jpg

                          Also drained the old diff fluid

                          4480105aca9352f162816b52172097d3.jpg

                          Went to put new drain plugs in. And I don't have an Allen wrench in size massive. So I need to go pick up a new wrench tomorrow so I can tighten it and put the redline 75w-90 in

                            Put a bolt in it and a nut on the bolt, then use a socket to tighten it

                                To be fair, earls idea is pretty slick and the next time there is a worldwide macho allen shortage I will try to remember it

                                  It is a nifty idea. But I'm probably in the same boat as I don't have a bolt that exact size

                                    So went to Sears and some other places. Nobody had an Allen that large. So I just bought a bolt and a few nuts. Gonna use the earl method.

                                      A hex socket set would probably have the right size, you can buy the gear wrench set at Sears or Advance Auto.

                                        Looked for those as well. No luck.

                                        Bolt & nuts worked fine

                                          I used a short bolt with a nut and welded them together. On the e36 you can't fit anything longer between the dif and spare tire well when in the car.
