I'm a little worried about accidentally putting too much weight on it and bending those bolts. I've actually already got one that's vent a little and was a pain to get back in; would only go in one specific mounting position. Was kinda wondering if anyone knew the size or part number of those bolts anyway.

Also, I don't have a part number for the support bolts, beside the 4 digit Audi special tool like (like 4077 or something, totally not that number tho) and googling that surprisingly isn't bringing back much... What does come back is just rental kits :-/

Don't sweat it. Use the locking bar to rotate the cam back into alignment. Easy.

this same happened to me, to which direction should sprockets be rotated clockwise or conterclockwise?
