Great stuff, man, not sure if it looks easier on the S or my RS -- I had to raise the roof, so to speak, on that bad boy! Thanks to mid-90s metalurgy, I had a sweet shaft (the ladies say that too, but that's more mid-70s biology for ya ... *grin*) with no damage.
My only concern was that you guys were using a torch on the swing arm ... were you not worried that you were scorching things or maybe even not applying symmetrical heat? I used a 1000W heat gun from Strauss and a Sears IR Thermometer to get around 200F (or whatever the manual calls for ...) and had only minor issues with the BMW Glue. Thanks for the pics!

that's the way it's supposed to be done. no propane persuasion needed...
