So then, stand on.
For some reason fitting the "trunnion" for that is how BMW describe the bit that is not the bolt is easy on the right side than the left. Might be different if you're left handed but greasy hands and unsighted Torx heads do not make for happy campers in this garage....
... but it's on and I was shaking with the sheer mental and physical exertion until a couple of muscle relaxants were taken.
I found that hooking the springs onto the frame first allowed for a straighter pull.
With the centre-stand in the up position I was laid by the bike, with one foot on the cylinder head, using my weight(don't you dare) to pull the springs back to hook onto the stand.
