ECS Exact-Fit stainless reinforced brake lines provide more confident and dependable stopping by maintaining consistent brake pressure, long lasting corrosion resistance, and increased protection from failure. Even when new, factory style fabric mesh lined rubber hoses are prone to expansion under the pressure of hard braking, whether it be highway panic stops or threshold braking at the track. Our lines are braided with stainless steel mesh, affording expansion resistance. This resistance to expansion creates a firmer pedal, and more direct pedal feel.

The impact driver is a fast and effective way to remove tight or corroded screws and bolts, reducing the chance of rounding off--or rounding out--the fastener head. Insert a slotted or Phillips head screwdriver bit into the driver. Place the screwdriver bit into screw head, and strike the driver with a hammer. The impact drives the bit inward as it rotates the screw, breaking it loose. Reverse the tool to tighten fasteners. For stubborn bolts, remove the black screwdriver bit adapter head, and replace it with any 3/8 - inch drive socket.

ECS Exact-Fit stainless reinforced brake lines provide more confident and consistent stopping by maintaining consistent brake pressure, long lasting corrosion resistance, and increased protection from failure. The interior fabric mesh of factory-style rubber lines can deteriorate over time, causing the aged materials to expand under hard braking, whether it be highway panic stops or threshold braking at the track. Our lines are braided with stainless steel mesh, allowing expansion resistance. This resistance to expansion creates a firmer pedal, and more direct pedal feel.

The pros know. Doing the job right means having the right tools. MINI owners who demand the best for their motorcars will appreciate the Schwaben oil filter housing removal socket. Unlike ham-fisted techniques using adjustable pliers or other improvised tools, the Schwaben socket is designed to grip the cartridge filter housing cleanly and securely to prevent cosmetic damage. Made of durable chrome vanadium, the socket has a 27mm hex-head protrusion for easy turning with an end wrench or socket. Order now and have one on hand for your next oil change.

To secure shocks and struts to their mounts, the retaining nut must be torqued to its proper specification using a torque wrench. Strut nut sockets allow for the use of an allen wrench to hold the damper shaft while utilizing your torque wrench on the socket to achieve proper torque. An improper torque value may result in premature mount failure - or worse. Some aftermarket strut nut sizes differ from what was originally found on the vehicle. Please measure your nuts to be sure - alternatively, pick up our Schwaben 5 Piece Strut Nut Socket Set and be covered for all common sizes.

NOTE: Additional coding will need to be done by a MINI dealership for strobe light elimination on startup.
