Looks like I will have to do the upper bolts too as they look fused together, they have to be loosened though as I want the alignment set up once done..
Dear GodsChariot
I apologise for disinformation. I've checked the BMW ETK, and M57N2 has same chain as M57N, but not M57.
So i was right, but only for 50%

Thanks for the correction, I can get some sleep at night now

Incidentally do you know the difference between the M57 and M57N chains?
