2. Loosen both screws -2-. Screws are permanently connected. If screws are damaged, press the screws out of the oil mist separator and replace them.
3. Hold oil mist separator at the left and right and pull carefully out of the bore in the valve cover by joggling it. At the same time check the gaskets and replace them if damaged.
Cylinder bank 5 to 8
4. Disconnect cable connections to the connection piece on the oil mist separator: Naturally aspirated engine -1 and 2-, Turbo engine -arrows-. Check sealing ring and replace it if necessary.
