Is it possible to remove the oil filter housing on an 07 530i without removing the alternator and any of the coolant hoses? I watched a video of it being done on an older N52 engine. He was able to get to all the bolts using an E10 ratching wrench and a E10 socket with a long extension. The only thing he moved aside was the power stering resovoir. I would like to get the housing off as easy as possible to get to these leaky gaskets. thanks
