About ACL mixed set from Lang, the binning is not made by Lang. They come sealed from ACL, with their commitment of being mixed. Don't know if ACL measures 100% of the shells in that package, though.
I'm going to do mine myself next month, BE shells + BE-ARP bolts. |

Regarding the o rings and seals, how many people are actually replacing these? I see them listed in the parts list but saw mention of people having them leftover after the job. Is it necessary to replace these if they're in good shape?

Still, to dismount something inside the engine and not replace a couple O rings that are $8 each... why? |

Did you end up using every O ring that you have listed in your original post? Just trying to get everything together beforehand so when my bearings show up I'm ready to go. |

So...always replace O-rings once you disturb them. |

Question for the group, the when you're replacing the bearings? Is it important that the back of the bearing be completely dry? It seems virtually impossible to keep the back of the bearing completely dry as you wriggle it into place. I notice as i pull the old bearings, there's oil on the back of them. So clearly, oil gets in there eventually. Maybe deansbimmer or admranger or SYT_Shadow ? Or anyone else with a qualified opinion, mean no disrespect if you weren't tagged

Got it done, wouldn't have been possible without this DIY. Feel so much better having that done.
Couple notes, the 12mm 12pt socket worked just fine for me removing the OEM rod bolts I found it significantly easier to completely ignore the belt tensioner until after the subfrane was dropped. It was a nightmare attempting to loosen that thing with the subframe in the way. Other than that, it went well. First 2 bearing sets were nerve racking but it's very simple once you get the hang of it. I agree with what others have stated, when using a lift, i didn't find the subframe to be that annoying at all while hanging there These bearings have 32k miles and one track weekend on them |

I have solid rubber ones from Bimmerworld and they are definitely more solid than stock, although a few weeks ago I did rod bearings for a forum member and he had ECS solid mounts which felt just like oem |

higher the better, i would prefer to have more to if you want to leave the suspension/subframe hanging.
If you remove everything then you might be fine.
