Plug it back in before service.
335i DIY same as X3:

I was able to remove the actuator valve but I'm nervous about going through with it. Have you done it to the X3 yourself? Has anyone done this and experienced no problems? Wouldn't want to unplug it and start the car, only to be found among the smithereens that fall upon the ground.
