Hi all,
I've got a brand new RTAB removal tool for sale, bought it as I was planning to do the RTABs myself but decided it was too much hassle for me so got a garage to do it. The tool is this one:

Looking for £20 plus a £5 postage. Save yourself a few quid :thumbsup:
 
Out of curiosity how much did the garage charge? I've got some new powerflex bushes ready to go on so unsure if I fancy doing then myself as my car is my only mode of transport so don't want to get stuck half way through if I do it myself and something goes wrong/gets stuck

It costed £300 for a BMW specialist garage to replace the rear drop links, rear ARB bushes, RTABs and a full alignment. I supplied the parts and the alignment was £120 so labour was £180. Going off that, I reckon RTAB labour was probably about £100 of that? You could definitely get it done cheaper at an indy but I wanted to go their as I've been having alignment problems and knew it would all be done properly.

Jack it up and 3 bolts for the cage. 1 nut and bolt for the bushing. Pretty easy DIY mate.

I know exactly how to do it, I wasn't asking for a DIY. Like I said, I couldn't be bothered for the hassle of doing it myself. Please don't bother commenting if you're not interested in buying it.

:rofl: Hope you're paired up sometime soon!

Anyway, now provisionally sold :)
 
Cheers Steve :) I am quite tempted to do it myself, how easy/awkward would it be only having a jack on my drive do you know?
 
Pop it on a stand and it will be fine, I think I only lifted one side at a time. Went poly to not have to worry about preload.
