Manifold

Rear disk is because you don’t use it for half of the year 😀

M7 11mm did seem an odd size to me at the time

Bmw's and their quirks

Luckily I have had good experiences so far of parts coming from Germany, being delivered in about 6-9 days

Is that £25 a nut!! Surely not!!

Good luck! Chris.

This shows the angle of the two bolts. @AntStark and I had no luck attaching the M7 nuts as the fuel rail and electric rail are in the way. Going underneath is at the wrong angle. Are there any videos or instructions for removing the rails? Thanks Richard

@AntStark and I had no luck with the new M7 nuts for the manifold. Unless both bolts are damged the nuts don't take.

It looks like the two bolts are angled as shown in the top photo.

Looking for some write ups and or videos for fuel rail and electric conduit removal.

Thanks

Richard

We’ll try it with a flexy socket extension first before taking anything apart 😀
 
Undo the two 10mm bolts holding the fuel rail in place, you can tilt it over for better access. Or even lift it up slightly, just holding down the injectors on 0-rings.

I would try your best to leave the electrical bar on the fuel rail, because the clips that hold it on are an absolute nightmare, at least for me anyway

Good luck !

Chris.

Fuel injector plugs are not bad to get off once you get used to them.

It literally takes brute force. Start at one end and pry the rail until the plug comes loose. Seams wrong at first but the plugs do just snap on and off. They don't break and the metal clip just expanded and comes off the injector.

I watched a video and thought that too. Not sure which 10mm bolts @Lee is referring to that hold the fuel rail on.

Hi prying anything on a 26 year old car scares me somewhat 😀
 
Decided that a local garage the best option for these bolts/nuts.
Not risking prying anything that is likely to snap
