This video is a complete step by step rebuild/restoration of the bmw e46 clubsport/purple tag rack which is a very popular swap for e30's as it can easily change the lock-lock from 4 turns down to 3!

After struggling to find any solid information of the e46 rack rebuild, I thought I would take it upon myself to get all the info I can and try it out!

Within the video I will be:
First completely disassembling the rack down to it's indiviual components
Sand blasting and respraying the rack body
Zinc plating the pipes and other hardware
Clean of all parts
Assembly of the rack with new o rings and seals

The seal kit used for this is a Corteco 13X044VS 25pcs kit.

This worked perfectly however the 4 hardline o ring's were different, but that was easy to sort as they were only small.

I then also replaced the 6001 bearing which is easily sourced.

All the rest was restored by myself.
