Hey, from one old shade tree mechanic to one (I'm going out on a limb, here) younger soon-to-be-seasoned shade tree mechanic... you can do this one, Joe.

For starters, you REALLY need to become intimate with the underbelly of your unit. This job is not terribly complex.. you have the Bible...er Bently.

Get a set of ramps and jack stands and go at it.. carefully and take your time. If you get frustrated and cant break a bolt loose- take a break and get a cheater.

You'll be very confident if you read and re-read the Bentley.. as you see on the section that describes the flex coupling replacement, it's only 5 paragraphs long! The part you really read is the section before!

You go, dude. You can do it.

Tom, your Lexington connection.

Are you a Bluegrass Bimmer? The BMWCCA mtg is in Lville on Tues. Get there and pick Don's brain. He's pretty helpful.
