Tom,
I take it your pulling the whole bell housing so thats a good time to do it. I would think the hardest part will be that flywheel bolts are usually a high torque so you will need to review the spec and make sure you have the right wrench. The big bitch nut on the crank is probably where you will need to hold the crank from turning would be my guess. Some rear seals require wear sleeves to be replaced on the crank but im not sure if bmw does this. I will look at my book and see. have fun,Matt
