Planning to tackle this along with motor mounts and try to get one if not both of my exhaust manifolds off. Depending on how difficult it is to remove them. The lower flange bolts are just a rusted mass now.
This will be on an 08 328i E90, rather than post a new thread, I'll add my questions here.
I'm curious if it might help to spritz a bit of silicone spray between the control arm joints. If that might help them move so I don't have to loosen them. Strongly considering removing the steering rack rather than the column bolt as I didn't order a replacement. I'm thinking if I can sharpie the perimeter of the rack bolts and properly realign them, then maybe shouldn't need an alignment that bad afterwards?
If you have to loosen the control arm bolts, do you have to preload the hub/suspension before tightening them back down?
Also planning to treat the gasket with ultra black RTV like Efthreeoh stated in another thread.
