I'm replacing my vacuum pump on my 2011 BMW X5 E70 N55. I have all the required tools including specialty tools. I have removed the seal which covers the camshaft sprocket and allows access to the vacuum pump mounting bolts. My problem is that I have not been able to align the sprocket to the bolts of the vacuum pump to remove them, and I don't want to break anything by forcing it.

That is the v8, I have the v6 and the video you showed me doesn't have the same requirements.

Good to hear back from you James... may you please send me the pic or your pump. Please send it to d**9@yahoo.com. May you please send me a pic of the engine as well and where the pump sits.  I'll be standing by for your response. Thank you.
