I have the tech ref manual for my 825i (60001-) and trying to remove the driver side front fender. The tech ref just states remove bolt to OPS along all the screws fastening the fender to the chassis.
I removed the bolt but it is a larger size than tech ref and there is an extension on the OPS bar that seems to interlock to the cross member running left to right. There must be at least 1/2-in overlap. The narrowed down section fitting into the cross member has the threads to the bolt.
Do I have to go through the trouble of at least loosening the OPS and llfting it sufficiently to slide the fender out? It does not seem to want to flex that much to force it.
