Thanks for the replies. Just picked up the gaskets from the dealer, so I'll give it a try this weekend. Looks like a good amount of fluid is going to leak out when I break the seal. Any of you have any issues with a little coolant getting into that oil passage on the block?

I would think this one. Seems to be the most comprehensive one that I could find.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IORcQabnoIw For those of you that did this repair before, did any of the bolts make a creaking noise? Bought a set of E-torx sockets, but waiting on a 1/4 in E10 for that back bolt before I disassemble it all. Was curious how tight those bolts were, so I broke free the top bolt. Not much torque on them, so it broke free pretty easily. But when tightening it back up it made a creaking noise. Worried it might be a sign or a stressed/damaged bolt. Should I replace it with a new bolt, or is that nothing to worry about?

Sounds like you cross threaded it. Back it off, remove, and check threads, see if they look like you new shiny metal.

Didn't actually undo the bolt all the way. Doing the job tomorrow and just planning ahead to see if it was tight enough to justify removing that coolant hose that's in the way of the bottom e10 bolt to get a socket in there. In which case I'd need to pick up some more coolant. Just a full turn to see how easy they break loose, which was pretty easily, then tightened it back up. So couldn't have cross threaded it. Just an alarming sound that makes the nightmare of a snapped bolt head come to mind. I'm assuming it's a reusable bolt as it's steel and has no blue on it.

Just an update. Did the work yesterday, and really not a bad job at all. The youtube video is incredibly helpful and covers most everything you'll need to know. If I were to do it again though, I'd probably have drained a bit of coolant, and emptied out the oil filter reservoir as much as possible. You lose a decent amount of both when pulling this thing apart, and it makes a mess. I ended up getting a tiny amount of oil in the coolant system which I didn't notice til I topped it up and bled the system. Saw a few brown spots floating on top in the reservoir. So i'll probably change out the coolant as a precaution. Definitely not an $800 job. Took me about 2 hours, and that's probably because I went a little crazy with the cleaning everything up after pulling it apart.
