cabriolet hydraulic cylinder
Jeffrey Nablo replied to Roberto's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
At last, based on a referral from a member on this site, I sent both cylinders to a guy in south Florida and he promptly rebuilt them with new seals and returned them along with some helpful info reguarding reinstallation. Everything seems to be working as it should. All for about half the cost of new. If anyone wants, e-mail me at nablotroxel@aol.com and I will give you his contact info. Thanks to all, this site is a very helpful tool. Jeff -

Dave, Thanks for the link. I am also looking into getting them rebuilt. I'll post the outcome asap. I've seen the cylinder itself when I was in there topping off the fluid, but wasn't sure if it's as simple as unbolting off the old one, transferring over the hoses and re-bolting on the new one. Any tips would be appreciated. I hear that removing the back interior 'door' panel can help. I had mine rebuilt with new seals by guy in Florida, like new for a lot less than new Might be worth checking this out: http://cgi.ebay.com/...sQ5fAccessories -

I have two leaky cylindrers that I need to replace. I got a quote from Sunset Imports for $505.00 each. Ouch! I would greatly appreciate a referral for someone to rebuild them.

Thanks, but where can I find Loren's instructions for this. Sorry to be so computer challenged, hopefully I'm better with a wrench! Jeffrey -

I can't find any DIY forms pertaining to this, can someone point me in the right direction. I have a leaking hydraulic cylinder that I would like to replace on my 996. Jeffrey, Santa Rosa Beach, FL ([email=nablotroxel@aol.com) -
Thanks for the replies, I'm waiting on a price from sunset and have a local shop with a PST-2 for calibration. Did you need to bleed the system when you changed cylinders and fluid and if so how did you do that? Jeff

I have a 99 996 Cab(top not working)and the dealer has diagnosed my problem as a failed Hydrolic Drive Pump. I would consider doing this myself but would love to hear from someone with experience on this one. The estimate was $980 for the pump....add bracket, washers, fluid and 3 hours labor for a total of $1571. Thanks for any input, Jeff
