Wish you had told me that two months ago. I tried the procedure in the Bentley manual, using a piece of 0.006" spring steel in place of the BMW special tool. I never could pull the sheet metal out without the gasket distorting, so I ended up removing the head. Not a bad job in September, but not enjoyable in December in Colorado, in an unheated garage. Good thing I've got a spare ride.
