Still a whole lotta parts gotta come out to get access to the valves! For me, I'm likely to just drive down to Escondido, drop the X5 off and spend the day with friends! Better way to spend the day for me!  |
I hope it is more than just that. I have seen this method performed many times. You need to make sure you get your valves to the closed position. Then there is a tool specifically made to remove and install the valve stem locks.
While the air is being pumped into the cylinder, you whack the locks with said tool, and you got the locks off. Remove, replace seals and move on.
This.

And Leak down tester used to pump air in.
I hope A B has a cooler way to do this.
