41 00... Setting Blind Rivet Nuts And Bolts
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 27 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 3, 2015 BMW 335i xDrive, 2015 BMW 335i, 2015 BMW 328i xDrive, and 2015 BMW 328i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Studs welded as standard are always replaced by blind rivet bolts.
- Drill holes (0.2 mm larger than the outside diameter of the blind rivet nuts or blind rivet bolts).
- Blind rivet nuts and studs must have a special coating for anti-corrosion purposes (sourcing reference: BMW Parts Department).
Use the blind rivet nuts and bolts supplied in the case of the manual riveting tool for steel only!
- It will no longer be possible to set a blind rivet nut if the drilled hole is too big. In this event, set a clip nut (sourcing reference: BMW Parts Department). This nut tightens itself automatically when screwed to the component.
- Insert blind rivet nuts or bolts and TIGHTEN DOWN WITH RIVET TOOL .
- Seal blind rivet nuts and blind rivet bolts with SEALANTD1 (risk of corrosion).
