    BMW tools for rent: RTAB, FCAB, Vanos/timing, Peake scan/reset, SRS

    BMW tools for loan: RTAB, FCAB, Vanos/timing, Peake scan/reset, SRS

    I’ve accumulated several BMW tools over the years from owning several BMWs and I’m offering them to loan. They’re a rip off to buy for a one time use, so here’s an opportunity to get the job done with the right tool.

    -Vanos/timing tools
    -RTAB (rear trailing arm bushing) tool
    -FCAB (Front control arm bushing) tool
    -Peake SRS tool
    -Peake scan tool
    -e46 M3 valve adjustment kit (shims, pick up tool, micrometer, 32m wrench)

    The details of each tool are listed below


    -RTAB tool. Loan includes both the removal tool as well as the installer tool. $25 outgoing shipping/handling. You are responsible for return shipping. $100 fully refundable deposit required in case of damage.




    -FCAB tool. Loan includes both the removal tool as well as the installer tool. $25 outgoing shipping/handling for 7 day loan once tool arrives. You are responsible for return shipping. $120 fully refundable deposit required in case of damage.
    Works on: e30, e36, e46 as well as 60mm on earlier 323 & 328 models.





    -FCAB Lollypop Tool. This tool allows you to remove and reinstall the FCAB into the lollypop/bushing carrier without the use of a 6 ton shop press. Loan includes both the removal tool as well as the installer tool. $25 outgoing shipping/handling for 7 day loan once tool arrives. You are responsible for return shipping. $100 fully refundable deposit required in case of damage. Works on:
    E30, E36, E46 (60mm only on 323/328/M3, and Z3 lollypops.





    -Vanos/timing tools: See picture for specific engine applications. Loan includes camshaft locking block, sprocket turner, crankshaft lock pin, camshaft tensioner lock pin. $25 outgoing shipping/handling for 7 day loan once tool arrives. You are responsible for return shipping. $120 refundable deposit required in case of damage.

    -The other Vanos tools (32 mm open wrench, fan clutch holder, & 17/18 MM modified sockets are available for an extra $10 shippping/handling (requires the next size larger flat rate shipping box). No additional deposit required if loaned with other tools.

    For the following motors (will not fit an s54):
    -M42
    -M44
    -M50
    -M52
    -M54
    -M56
    -S50
    -S52

    -Peake R5/SRS-2 (airbag tool): $25 outgoing shipping/handling for 7 day loan once tool arrives + $130 fully refundable deposit. For 2001 and older vehicles only. Outgoing shipping is $5. You are responsible for return shipping.

    -AB03 Adapter: Comes with the loan with one of the above loans. Allows use of above tools with older style under hood connection.



    -e46 M3 adjustment kit: $50 outgoing insured shipping/handling for 7 day loan once tool arrives + $550 fully refundable deposit. You must replace shims with OEM units from the dealer prior to sending it back. You are responsible for return shipping (around $15 with insurance). If you only want the shim kit and pick up tool, subtract $10 from the shipping/handling cost & subtract $150 from the deposit.

    Do I need a special tool for rear, upper, lower, inner, outer control arm bushings for rear suspension? Does the rtab tool work for those bushings as well?
    Been going against the grain since I was a sapling.

    For the rear (RTAB) you'll need a different tool than the FCAB's. Not sure about the others. At a minimum, you'll need 2 tools. Maybe someone else can chime in on the other bushings & their respective tools.

    The bentley manual simply states to push old ones out and new ones in with a shop press. So I guess I just need rtab tools. Are the rtab tools available this coming weekend? I will have all my bushings by Friday.

    So will the ABS tool reset the airbag light on a 2003 E39 530i? If so, I"d like to rent it.
    Thanks

    I will probably need the vanos tool set in a little bit.
    Can you throw in the 18mm without the fan stuff?
    Where in the bay are you? Do you ship only?
