I think loosening mount on the TC or engine is usually done to get that half inch or something needed to pull the shaft out. I’ll look at my PDF see if it has a procedure. I know people make a 2-part front shaft to deal with this issue.
Next week I’m changing a TC on a 328xi I think it’s pretty similar but I’m sure you don’t want to wait a week.
