beta,
Do you think a thin 24mm wrench for the camshaft should be on your tools list?
Like
this or
that?
Also, if you go with the "pretension in a plane" method, you might need a torque wrench adaptation that can torque the hub bolts after the vanos is installed.
I can't quite figure out what's the deal with
this BMW tool.
It apparently goes in place of the ratchet head of a torque wrench, but I doubt I can just pop the head off my Craftsman and pop this on. Need a set of crows feet. Have to remember to hedge the torque setting since the crows foot adds a moment arm.
Just bought
this, and
these. I bought a set of
Neiko Torx a while back, and I'm real happy with them. Replaced a set of Lisle (yuck).
