Adjusting Actuator arms - Ok if i do one at a time?
Ok so I believe i have widdled down my 30FF to my actuator arms.
I know there's a front and rear. I was thinking of adjusting rear, and seeing if it's fixed. Then if needed - adjust the front. Anything wrong with doing it this way? Or should I be adjusting both at the same time? |

You can just pop the radiator fan out and do it right? I’d have to figure out washer size and how many. |

Yeah, the front can be done by removing fan and then working by braille with 1/4" drive tools and some slotted washers to slide over the bolts using a magnet. Mine only took about 45min. It seemed hard at first but isn't bad when you get a "feel" for it, haha. |

So, you'll have to use the horse shoe shaped no 8 SS washers trick. You take two, no. 8 SS washers. Grind out a section to make a horse shoe. Super glue two of them together. Do this twice. You'll need to take out the two vacuum canisters & the valve cover plastic cover. You need to loosen up the actuator bolt on the top of the turbo about a 1/2" in order to slide the washers between the actuator & the turbo housing. The harder part is the bottom bolt. You'll need to take the fan out and the FMIC. You'll need a 6" extension & 3/8th ratchet to loosen up the turbo actuator bolt, sliding the extension & socket in-between all the various radiator hoses working from the bottom of the engine. You'll need to position the washers on a telescopic part picker upper and finesse them in between the actuator & the turbo housing working from the bottom of the engine. |

For my 335xi with 6mt I did not remove the intercooler and performed all work from the top once the fan was out. |
