Do It Yourself (DIY) Program Overview
The 2010 Do It Yourself (DIY) program allows National Capital Chapter (NCC) BMW Car Club of America (CCA) Members to work on their own cars under the supervision of expert mechanics and technicians provided by the DIY Sponsor. The purpose of the DIY is to learn and practice proper maintenance and repair techniques that you can routinely complete within a two-and-one-half-hour (2.5 hour) time period.
There are typically several NCC members who can assist you when an extra pair of hands or advice is needed. We are happy to show newcomers the joys of working on your own car. Most events start at between 8 am and 9 am and typically finish at 3 pm. Lunch for the event is provided by the club.
The DIY Program Webpage is here http://www.nccbmwcca.org/content.php?119-diy
This event offers online registration and payment through MotorsportReg.com.

The Leehigh DIY event is now full for regular workers. Any new DIY requests will be placed on the Waitlist.

I was wondering if someone could check if I am registered or not. The event registration receipt says:
"Thank you. You will be contacted by the DIY Coordinator at least one week before the event."

We have you as waitlisted. You can see your current status on MSR using the Dashboard. I would expect Phil to send out confirmations for the event in the next few days.
Is anyone attending the event on Saturday that has performed a replacement of the rear subframe bushings (1987 e30)? I have the Bentley manual but it is very limited in its description of the procedure. I have arranged to have the special BMW tool for Saturday through the club but wanted to see if anyone knew of a good site to get a step by step procedure for the replacement. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not sure. I have never done that job.
For any bushing replacement (aside from rack), it's always nice to have a press on hand. If no press, then a torch and a drill can get the old one out.Quote:
