The little guides/bushings. Shown below. It moves out of it's hole slightly and blocks reinstallation. A little tapping gets it back into place.

Slightly helps the removal too if you first partially loosen the bolt and then hammer at the end of the bolt to push the gliding nut level.

Removal was a bish. It was right in there. I'll def have to mess with it prior to install.

On the M62 there is a not nut that has no room to get a socket and it is counter sunk so can't fit a wrench.

I saw a nut on the back that looks like that. Like it's inserted and the bolt threads into it

This is the one on the M62.

My through hole socket worked perfectly. (also works perfectly on the timing chain tensioner)

Removed the car cover and fired it up so I could rearrange the driveway due to finally wrapping on my E39 wagon brake upgrade. Cleaned all the mouse snack leftovers under the hood and reinstalled the cover as it is raining cats and dogs here....
I promised to drive her on Friday if the weather is nice.
