ive done 4 of these suspensions if you have trouble with it your either technically handicapped or a chromosome short. Like i told you chapel get the sleeves for the subframe bolts because your going to destroy them chiseling them out of the control arms/subframe.
Semple is the only guy that has them instock otherwise your gonna have to wait for them to come from germany via audi.

Its #3 in the attached photo and yes, there is a special tool called a 2069. The 2069 tool has a pentagon shape that engages in a matching shape inside the cap. I have one, but honestly a large pipe wrench works better.
I'm in Canada, the Alpina was imported from Germany.

Good to know about the suspension. If you can do it, we can do it
