      88cace11c51719fee7e660b98343810d.jpg

      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

                Remember, if you preload the csb more than once its considered playing with your driveshaft

                      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

                                    Fluids in and plugs are tioght

                                      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.

                                        New trans fluid is in. Went with redline MTL. also made a list which I immediately regretted. Pretty much ran out of cardboard.
