Oil Filter Housing Gasket - Cant get to Torx screw in tight quarters
Folks,
2008 535i N54.
Need to fix oil leak in the Oil Filter Housing Gasket. From link below, already replaced gasket #4, the difficult one. Should have replaced gasket #5 at the same time.
Now need to replace gasket #5. There are 3 Torx screw #10, the one in the center under Thermostat Housing is bitching to get to!!!
Anyone know what tool or how I can reach it?
RealOEM.com * BMW E60N 535i Lubrication system-Oil filter
Not in the realoem diagram, but can the 2 hoses be taken out by removing screw plug #11?? That will be ideal.
Any advice appreciated.
