I've seen a couple reports where people had trouble tilting back the final drive.
This was back when you had to drop the final drive to change the final drive oil.
Sometimes they only had to walk away and try later.
You mention the Castrol paste. That's what I used on our K1300Ss but I think BMW has moved on to another paste.
When I do ours I'm temped to use the Castrol again since I have it.
I need to order the white sealing grease before I do ours.
On the K1300S I did not remove the shaft. I was able to slide it part way back enough without popping it loose from the snap ring.
