On my 603 the #2 was easy as well, about 15 minutes. I was prepared with my magnet for the nut to fall off but it didn't. Took me a while to realize that it was captive. Very nice warm feeling of appreciation to the german engineer who thought of that for these engines. BTW, no way will my hands fit next to the GPs. I just used a long set of needle nose pliers and some deep sockets, extensions and a wobble wrapped in tape (for less wobble).

cheers,
Matt.
