+1 on removing the mufflers, otherwise you may need a small indonesian child to reach the rear passenger side one for you.. :censored:

When I replaced the spark plugs on my 99/996, I shortened a hex head/allen head to remove the top hex bolt on the coil packs, the allen rench ended up looking like a small L. For me removing the coils was the worst part of the job.

Got the usual tank leak last weekend replaced it with a new one this weekend. After going through a lot threads on this same subject, and to some it was said it was not an easy job. Some clipped off the GT3 fuel filter hanger support etc.. In my case it went fairly easy.

I found if you support the engine with a hydraulic jack, remove the left rear lower motor mount bolt, and then let the engine down while still supporting it, it gives you the necesary clearences you need. In my case I just had to remove the air pump. and the snorkel, no filter box removal necessary! Suince I have big hands it also allowed the tank sensor to be disconnected easily.

One other thing I replaced all the stock hose clamps with full SS ones. The full SS ones are aviliable at Home Depot. Others from auto parts stores only offer SS bands with nickle or plated carbon steel screw and heads.

If I am duplicating another post my appologies!

Thanks for the post on coolant tank replacement, I am about to replace my tank in 99-996. I was wondering if you just lossened the nut on the motor mt. and let the engine down, or removed the nut completely? and where did you drain the coolant? Thanks

HellO all: Can the coil packs be tested? Or do you just replace them? Thanks Hal

Thats a great looking cab, better than most I have seen!! Halvin

If I locate the other one that deals with the window regulator itself, I'll post it here, but it is pretty straightforward.
