S63 Vanos Solenoid Replacement

Anyone replace their vanos solenoids themselves? I have all they symptoms their bad and prefer to DIY. Several videos on the F10 N63 but none on the S63 so just curious how different it is.
Looking at the charge cooler locations and the fact I have Project Gamma intakes, it looks pretty straightforward and relatively easy but looking for guidance from someone who's actually done them.

TIA

Found this on YT. Not the best produced video but every little peek you can get at the process is another step closer. Hoping someone that has done it chimes in as I have been interested in learning the procedure.

You will need to remove the charge cooler to replace them. one bolt holding the solenoid valve & coat the solenoid seal with engine oil before installing it, 10Nm torque for the bolts
