E39 M5 S62 Sweet Tooth VANOS

E39 M5 S62 - How to find the 'sweet tooth' for the dual splined VANOS shaft. Once found and marked, you can reconnect the shafts to the VANOS units then easily line up the gears upon reassembly.
The same concept applies to the exhaust cams and you can get leverage to rotate the splined hub by inserting a torx or allen bit into the hole on top.
