Did mine today. That one inner bolt Sucked even with the rounded hex. Broke it lose with a T-30 screw driver then used the rounded head to finish. Putting it back on was the big hassle.

Right now I’m not even sure how I got the bolt lined up and threaded. It took quite some time because the bolt head is big enough to where it won’t fit straight on. I started to wonder, are there different variations with n20/n26 and or xdrive? I could not get anything on it at the angle that Kies Motorsport did.

In the end I fingered the thing in and used a flat head to grab the little grip on the edge of the bolt to get it as far as I could after torquing the other two. Test drive says it seems to be good, I hope I never have to touch it again.

If I was to do it again I’d try a forge product that replaces the whole thing and doesn’t act like a spacer in hope that it was a bit easier.
