Re: Center support bearing

More or less DIY. Problem is there's locktight holding it together in the center
bolt. You 'may' need to apply some heat to seperate. Other than that, the key is
to mark everything with china marker or paint - front and rear boltup, center
boltup (side-side), and piece-piece. Blau will happily fax you the directions in
advance.
Having been through the BMW 325 part/cut off and weld tangs on deal, I would go
the extra and buy the Blau part. I believe the allens are 7mm.
