BMW X5: Removing And Installing/Replacing Right Eccentric Shaft (N62 From 9/03 And N62TU)

BMW X5 (G05) 2019-2024 Service & Repair Manual / Engine / Engine (N62TU V8) / Variable Valve Gear / Removing And Installing/Replacing Right Eccentric Shaft (N62 From 9/03 And N62TU)

(cylinder bank 1 to 4)

Necessary preliminary tasks:

Eccentric shafts from 2/2003:

NOTE: Eccentric shafts of cylinders 1 to 4 and 5 to 8 are identical parts.

IMPORTANT: Note installation direction of eccentric shafts.

Depending on the side on which the magnet wheel is fitted, the eccentric shafts are used for cylinders 1 to 4 or 5 to 8.

Incorrect assembly will result in engine damage.

Removal:

Removal of eccentric shaft is described separately from installation.

NOTE: The work steps are only described on one bearing position. The procedure is identical for the other bearing positions.

Carefully tilt bearing shell (1) to one side and simultaneously remove towards top.

Removal of magnet wheel (if necessary):

NOTE: Carefully clamp eccentric shaft (1) as illustrated with protective jaws (2) in a vice.

IMPORTANT: Danger of mix-up:

It is very easy to mix up left and right or front and rear on the eccentric shaft.

If necessary, mark the side on which the magnet wheel is fitted.

NOTE: Magnet wheel (1) is extremely magnetic.

After removal, place magnet wheel in a plastic bag to protect it against metal chips.

Release screw and remove magnet wheel (1).

IMPORTANT: Needle bearings (1) break off very easily when removed and installed.

Carefully press needle bearings (1) apart at split position only to such an extent that they can be removed from eccentric shaft.

NOTE: If the needle-roller bearings are replaced, the bearing shells must be replaced as well.

Carefully press bearing shell (1) to one side and simultaneously remove towards top.

Installation:

Installation of eccentric shaft is described separately from removal.

NOTE: Lubricate eccentric shaft at bearing positions.

Replace needle bearing (1).

IMPORTANT: Needle bearings break off very easily when installed.

Carefully press needle bearings (1) apart at split position only to such an extent that they can be fitted over eccentric shaft.

Eccentric shafts from 2/2003:

NOTE: Eccentric shafts of cylinders 1 to 4 and 5 to 8 are identical parts.

IMPORTANT: Note installation direction of eccentric shafts.

Depending on the side on which the magnet wheel is fitted, the eccentric shafts are used for cylinders 1 to 4 or 5 to 8.

Incorrect assembly will result in engine damage.

Installation of magnet wheel:

NOTE: Carefully clamp eccentric shaft (1) as illustrated with protective jaws (2) in a vice.

IMPORTANT: Incorrect assembly will result in engine damage.

Assemble eccentric shaft for cylinder bank 1 to 4:

The machined curvature (3) and the groove in the eccentric shaft must point forwards as illustrated.

The unmachined surface on the eccentric points to the right.

Secure magnet wheel (1) with lug in eccentric shaft groove.

IMPORTANT: Only install original antimagnetic screw (2).

Insert screw (2) and tighten down.

Tightening torque 11 37 1AZ.
