E53 X5 2003 4.4 Timing Chains

[Fish71]

Good day,

I am just curious to hear from people that have actually completed changing timing chains on their X5

Did you take the entire front end off to complete the repair?

Is it possible to complete with the front end still on?

How hard is it to remove the front end

When I say front end I'm talking about radiator support, bumper, headlights the whole 9 yards

I plan on doing valley pan, vanos rings, valley pan, timing chains, cooling refresh, and a ccv rebuild.

Any help would be appreciated.
