Took about 3.5 hrs to complete, no mishaps thats good...
2007, n54, no oil cooler
1. Removed the intake manifold nuts and moved it slightly to make room for the infamous bolt. Did not remove TB. Removed cp out of the way. Used a e10 sicket and the bolt was tight but came loose.
2. I did not drain coolant, rather used a syringe and emptied the coolant tank was about 1.5 liter.
Oil was not drained either, but like the op used a syringe to empty the housing.
3. Had to take off the coolant hose next to the second bolt. Did it carefully since have heard they break. After removal if you keep the hose high enough no coolant leaks. Gave me room to use an e10 socket. Was tight as well.
4. Almost no mess oil or coolant, when the ofh was removed. Gasket was in bad shape. Housing looked ok. Post photo.
