Slightly OT, how many 'wrenches' for a 3er clutch swap.

So yeah...my throw out bearing took a dump.
Will be sourcing parts soon.
How hard is a clutch/pp/fly r&r on a M50 e36 4door?
I’m sure for many parts two peeps will be key. Got air tools too.
Any gotchas?

94 530iT&A, ‘Helga’---92 325i, ‘Rolf’…….”Hang up & Drive!”.......no, SERiously.

Straight forward as far as a clutch job goes. Just make sure you have a lot of universals and extensions to get the tranny loose from the car. A couple tranny bolts are in awkward places and getting them loose can be a real PITA, enough to make you want to take it to a pro. Otherwise it is a straight forward job with a tranny jack and air tools. YMMV.

Best,

Ugh, oh well.........thanx Rory.
A quote of ~$1000 has me scared (but that’s their parts included).
Those bolts are torx according to Bentleys, anyone know what size?
