2.0T FSI cam seal question

[Andy A]

The person who owned the car before me mangled the center of the poly bolt. I had no choice but to take the cam cradle off to fix the problem.

 

I need to fit a new cam seal on the end of the exhaust cam shaft. Can I put the seal in place and then torque the cradle down onto the seal?

 

I was hoping to avoid having to take the bumper off because the brakes are seized and the car is very near to the wall. This makes taking the bumper off impossible.

 

Thanks
