Friend's '96 740iL(no EDC, no self-leveling) RSM's need to be replaced.

Anyone do this before? Any documented procedures online? I couldn't find any.. even on e38.org

Any info would be awesome :buttrock

I used an ETK/TIS program from ebay (about 14 bucks). If I remember right you have to pull rear seat, speaker grill/rear deck, tires and inner fender. Not too bad of a job all in all.
