I got a response from Tony which was very nice of him

You do NOT have to drop the oil pan to do this upgrade. Simply remove the valve cover, loosen the tensioner, remove the vanos pulleys, and the chain drops down enough to install the new hub. You do NOT have to change the oil sprocket if the hub has not spun yet, it is not required. You can if you wish, and we recommend it if you think your hub has slipped, but it is not required.


As I said I believe EAS may have taken 20 hours, and the install is very thorough, but not all those steps are always required.

Thank you!
