Evidently I have zero M2 mechanical skills. I replaced the stock clutch stop easily in my old E92. Tried to do it with my M2 and failed miserably. I stuck my hand inside the flex shield and all I felt was the the clutch pedal and some sort of thin metal bar. Oh and I got what feels like vaseline on my fingers. There's so little room to work with in there. What am I missing?
Side note: I even resorted to removing the two 10mm bolts to lower the panel like someone suggested. The bolts came out easily but the panel didn't budge. I'm losing all around.
