Troubleshooting
Tool does not fit the bearing or component.
Verify the specific BMW model and year against the kit's intended application. Ensure the correct sleeve or nut is being used for the specific component (e.g., rear wheel carrier vs. longitudinal arm).
Spindle is difficult to turn or seems stuck.
Ensure the spindle threads are clean and lightly lubricated. Check for any debris caught between the tool and the component. Ensure the component being worked on is properly seated and aligned within the tool's support.
