Pull the intake, removing the front drive shaft does help a little, but the upper T50(6 point 3/8s wrench works) is impossable from below... If you have never replaced the PCV sysem, now is the time... The last IX starter I did I charged 8 hours... 80% of my work is E46's.. I have tryed dropping sub frame/trans/ x-member, ya need 2 hands to get the socket on the upper bolt....
If ya need phone help, 402-617-7451... Text first... I will call ya back...
