BMW DIFFERENTIAL STUD KIT - E30, Z3, E28

OVERVIEW

Introducing our diff stud kit conversion. This is one of those mods that you will be glad you did, the next time you need to service your differential. This makes taking the differential in and out of your E30, E28, or Z3 a lot easier. This now becomes a one person job (and safer). It can be a little difficult to balance the differential and line up the bolt holes during re-installation. They never seem to line up perfectly you need to make sure that the bolts are threaded by hand first. It can be time-consuming. Our diff studs are designed to make everything line up and lift right into the holes every time. Installation is easy. Simply apply Blue Loctite on the studs. Thread to the length you require and let the thread lock dry. That's it! Set includes everything needed for installation including nylon locking nuts and washers.

Installation Notes

• Stud Allen Size: 5.5mm
  • Stud Torque Spec: 25 ft/lbs + Blue Loctite
• Nut Socket Size: 19mm
  • Nut Torque Spec: 45 ft/lbs
• Highly Recommended: Put Blue Loctite on Stud Before Threading into Differential. 
  
• Note: We typically recommend installing only the front 2x studs, and use the factory bolts for the rear mounting positions. This makes it easier to position the differential into the subframe.
