S50 Crank lock

I have the tool and have it installed. I'm actually just curious about a few things from more "experienced" hands.


The question is:

Can this be accessed/removed/put in place with the intake manifold in on a swapped E30?

Yes.

I don't know how large your meat hooks are, but the pin is definitely accessible from the bottom if you can't get at it from the top, with the manifold in place.

That's what I was thinking. Luke was skeptical if it was do-able from underneath as the manual for the S50 and the according tool actually are for, wait for it, an E36.

Thank's Freeeeed. :D
