6 speed transmission bearing replacement

Has anyone put bearings in a 2002 6 speed manual transmission.


Looking for some suggestions / tips / tricks to take it apart and have the bearings pressed in.


Thanks.

Unless you have the special tools etc. I would suggest you look into a exchange trans from BMW with a full warranty.

I pulled the case apart, but as you mentioned..looks like I would need some special tools.

Not sure exactly what is needed. At a minimum, some of the bearings are pressed against the case, so there needs to be some special tool to remove the bearings/races.
