FAQs

What specific BMW models is the Laser Tools 8860 compatible with?

The tool is designed for the front rear differential mounting bush on BMW 7 Series (2008-2015), 6 Series (2011-2018), and 5 Series (2009-2017 and 2010-2017 models).

Can this tool be used for the rear differential bush?

No, this tool (8860) is specifically for the *front* rear differential mounting bush. For the *rear* bush on these models, you need Laser Part No. 8857.

What type of grease should I use?

You must use clean molybdenum disulphide grease for lubricating the force screw. This ensures smooth operation and prevents damage to the screw threads.

Is this tool suitable for use with an impact wrench?

No, absolutely not. This tool is designed for controlled, gradual pressure application via its screw mechanism. Do not use impact tools.

What does it mean that it's equivalent to OEM 33 0 020?

It means the tool is designed to perform the same function and fit in the same way as the equivalent tool specified by BMW (OEM), ensuring professional-grade performance.

How do I clean and maintain the tool?

After use, clean the tool, especially the threads of the force screw. Wipe away old grease and debris, and re-apply a light coat of clean molybdenum disulphide grease before storing it in a dry place.

What should I do if the tool seems stuck or is hard to operate?

First, ensure the force screw is adequately lubricated with the correct grease. Check for any debris that might be obstructing movement. Also, confirm that the bush itself is not excessively seized in its mounting. Do not force the tool excessively if you encounter high resistance without diagnosing the cause.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not engage bush properly.

Ensure the correct bush location and vehicle model are being serviced. Verify the tool is seated squarely against the bush and the differential housing without obstruction.

Force screw is difficult to turn.

Confirm the force screw has been properly lubricated with clean molybdenum disulphide grease. Check for any debris or cross-threading. Ensure the bush is not seized or damaged in a way that causes excessive binding.

Bush is not being pressed in/out evenly.

Check that the tool is centered on the bush. Ensure the mounting surface on the differential housing is clean and undamaged. Re-lubricate the force screw if necessary.

Tool marks or damages the differential housing.

This usually indicates improper tool positioning or excessive force applied incorrectly. Ensure the tool is only making contact with the designated bush and seat areas as per OEM instructions. Never force the tool if resistance is unusually high without identifying the cause.
