So I started the removal process today but got stuck at crank case breather hose clip.

Does anyone know how can I remove it so I can re-use it ? Tried to take it off with pliers, but that didnt really work. I can't twist it or move it. Is there a special tool to remove this ?

See if you can borrow the special tool from your dealer.You'll also need it to re-use the clip.

Surely you can replace with a jubilee clip?

that's my thinking for tomorrow if un-clip not going to work out.

was just afraid to make a mistake as need a bike for tuesday

Probably the best option.
If you manage to get it off without damage,you won't be able to re-use it without the special tool as it needs to over-centre to click into place.

I morally pop them open with a thin flat blade screw driver and then refit with a pair of snips or point nose pliers.
Might be tougher though with the location. I'd second a jubilee clip for handyness

So managed to take the clip off (was super easy once you understand how) and removed SAS.

everything was super easy, but I forgot one plug and I think I damaged thread of right screw that goes into frame to hold air-intake plastic box

It looks like a fairly simple installation once you remove the tank. Did the bike register or display any fault codes?

Not on dash. Will be checking with gs911 tomorrow.

I also tried to remove ABS lines but that didnt go so well as I couldn't remove them without cutting in half so I gave up.

That?s good. It will be interesting to know if it registers a fault code and whether or not it can be easily cleared.

It does register this. You can clear it, but it comes back. Nothing on the dash.

It might just need to be plugged into the BMW system and permanently cleared.

There is a small hole on air intake box, on same side as servo motor. I forgot to plug it y'day, did that today.

Also removed the motor that was connected to charcoal canister and throttle bodies. No error code registered for that connector.

Well, I was to quick to say no warning on dashboard. There is a warning triangle, altho that might come from DDC as well I guess.
