I wouldn't attempt it without using the top two tools if that's what you're asking.

I don't do a great job at explaining how it works completely, but I rebuild the vanos unit in this video, around the 3:11 minute mark

@@269Garage Ok, is that the pitch wheel with the rotor inside, if so then my question has been answered
Thank u very much 👍💪

[@269Garage]

Everything with the timing components are technically external to the VANOS, and the VANOS acts on those little spiral splined pistons to change the timing. At least that's my understanding of it. The camshaft position sensors operate from those oblong shaped pieces that have the arrows on them. This is also my first time rebuilding one of these so I'm not too familiar with the exact terms for all of the components.
