Default 2006 535i Front Main Seal

Does it take the special tools mentioned in the book to remove the front main seal? Or, does it just take 2 wood screws to remove the front main seal?

Let me answer my own question. Impossible without the tool. Buy it.

There is no MY 2006 535i. The E60 535i didn't come around until MY 2008.

Got the factory tool from Samstag.com

It takes exactly 2 minutes to pull the seal. And another 5 minutes to install the new one.

Forget any other tools.
