cam install for A4??

I've done three cam installs on m6 ls1 but this is my first for an auto car, whats different if anything. I was told I have to drop the starter for some reason.

drop the starter to access the gear on the flywheel to keep the motor from turning over when removing and installing the balancer

On an A4 car, you'll need to drop the starter and either install the flywheel locking tool or wedge a screwdriver in. The starter is held in by 2 13mm bolts for 99+ models or 2 15mm bolts for 98 models and is on the bottom rear passenger side of the engine. You can leave the wires attached.
