Ahh..I see now. Ok thanks Loren.

I found an Extreme Dimensions GT2 bumper cover for my 99 996 off of Ebay for $300. Thought it was a decent price so I bought it. Just the bumper cover, no installation kit or guide. After trying to install it, I found that it was impossible to fit on because the bumper sticks out too far and wont allow it to slide into place. With the bumper off, it fits. What is the solution? Are there shorter aftermarket bumper absorbers I need for this? Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Replacing Spark Plug Tube
986Flyer replied to 986Flyer's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Wish me luck, tonight I do the drivers side. I hope all I find are bad seals and not cracked tubes where pieces are missing! I read a post where someone had a tube that cracked and they left a chunk of plastic in the motor. That was a great post. Wish you'd have made it last week before I did MY plugs! :)(I pulled Berus out and replaced them with Bosch) I managed to do the job without taking anything off but next time I have to get in there, I'll pull this up do it your way. What really helped me was cutting a small piece of allen wrench to hand spin the coil bolts off after I loosened them. Made things much easier but probably not as easy as your way. Just pulled my tube tonight and found a kinked front O-ring was the culprit (looks like yours). My Wal-Mart boat plug worked perfectly after I made sure it was tight in the tube. Fortunately I only needed to repair one tube. How are your spark plug connectors? The one in my leaky tube was shot and also had to be replaced. I'm guessing being exposed to hot oil for who knows how long didn't help its longevity. Good luck!:cheers: -

Perfect! Thanks a lot! -
Just got done with my spark plug change and noticed some oil in one of the spark plug tubes. From some digging around, it sounds like its either an o-ring or the tube itself so I'm planning on just replacing the whole thing. What is a good way to do this? Is it possible to just pull the tube out and just replacing an o-ring if that's all it is? I noticed on Pelican Parts they also tell you to use the Porsche grease. What do I grease and is there a similar common grease that doesn't cost $38, which is way more than the parts to fix it? Any suggestions much appreciated. It's a 99 996 with 90,500 miles.
