Hi there

 

Well... I could not help myself.  Probably quite common, eh!?  I finished my '71 2002 and driving it around and still frequenting FAQ, I decided a 5 spd tranny would be a real nice upgrade.  As if they are ever really 100% done anyways!?  Anyways, the other night I was cleaning up the transmission and removing the slave cylinder... the first nut came off easy and the other one just twisted off...seemed to be cracked before since it took no real effort.  Anyways...what are the recommended solutions?  

 

The ideas I have include,

-I think there is enough room for a bolt head on the inside of the clutch housing (though to change the slave cylinder maybe at some time requires tranny removal) 

-heat the bolt and surrounding area and very gently tap or twist the broken stud out and replace (can a stud be found)

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks!

Bill

Oh dear!!  Looks like a pressed-in bolt. First attempt would be to heat and gently tap it out (no twisting).  A standard repair with an M8 bolt epoxied into place would probably work, but I would try to find a replacement "original style" bolt--maybe someone with a trashed 245 case?  Good luck.

Hi

 

Amazing what a bit of heat does.  A few minutes with a propane torch gently heating the bolt and surrounding area...and a few light taps...and voila...the knurled bolt is out.  The diameter of the knurled portion of the bolt is 0.088 inches and the height of the knurled section is a hair <1/4 inch.  Its about $2.50.  

 

Regards

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
