I would get one loose enough to remove with my fingers, then move on to loosen another. When I went back to take the bolts out by hand some were tight again, as the pulley had shifted and was now pulling against that bolt.
This job is very easy from the top, just a little uncomfortable, but if you're a practiced mechanic it's no problem.

If you wouldn't mind I may reach out to you when I go to install mine in a few months. Appreciate the insight since you have already done one. |
Of course, I love talking shop with my Bimmerpost boys.
