  1. If you remove fuel rail bolt (the fuel injection rail end plug) 19mm it's very important from the porsche workshop manual you need to counter when loosen and tighten. 'Counter' meaning hold 18mm bolt on the bottom of the 19mm the fuel rail is made of softer metal brass if you crack or break this would be bigger and costly problem. I only read this in the workshop manual afterward nothing bad happend but it could. 22 ft lb tightening torque.
  2. 2002 996 C2 65k mile, coolant tank replacement 1) Use method of your choice to remove coolant below the coolant tank. 2) Remove air cleaner, air pump. 3) Lower engine (really not that bad) basically put piece of wood on jack. jack point the small 2 rectangle shape behind the oil pan, jack up slightly to put load on the jack. (lift the car suspension up 1" or less NOT the car tires stay on ground) Unbolt the two 18mm engine mount bolt. Make sure the jack is solid, you can stack something on the both sides under the oil pan (old phone books, wood ..) just in case your jack gives out. IMPORTANT: Unstrap rubber holder to power steering fluid hose top right engine compartment get pull down when engine gets lowered. Slowly lower, make sure the catalytic wires on the right aren't being pulled, the driver side wires aren't an issue either is the ac hose is ok. You want to lower it as much as you need but still have the jack holding the engine. I think around least 3 - 4 inches. The engine will be easy to move side to side so be careful. This will give you more room to disconnect the coolant hoses. 4) Only need to disconnect the hoses that connect to the tank and the small one on the T couple. You don't need to remove the hose to the aluminum pipe in the back. I used slip joint pliers with closer grip mode, but tool would be easier. 5) Remove coolant level sensor from tank 1/4 turn clockwise towards the front car and pulls out, then disconnect wire put safe place. 6) Now Tank you now should have enough room to slide off the black tank mount, move vent hoses around to give you more room to move around. Now the trick is to remove black mount there are two 10mm bolts, left is easy once the tank is moved to left, but the one closer looks not possible. But if you push the tank to left front corner tilt it, this will give you just enough room to put a 1/4 inch drive 10mm socket and universal joint adapter. It's not on too tight should come off easy you just have to be patient. After black mount remove the coolant tank will be much easier to remove and install. The job is still a pain in the *** but very doable don't need to break black mount and only install with one bolt. IMPORTANT: I don't think you need to remove the big fuel rail bolt 19mm as other post suggest. Very important from the porsche workshop manual you need to counter when loosen and tighten. 'Counter' meaning hold 18mm bolt on the bottom of the 19mm the fuel rail is made of softer metal brass if you crack or break this would be bigger and costly problem. Reinstall engine mount jack up the engine and lift up the suspension slightly this will make sure the engine is flush. Now put bolts on and tighten bolts 63 ft lbs. 63 ft lbs for tightening engine mount bolt 8-10 ft lbs for other should be good. 22 ft lbs for fuel rail bolt General Tip: wear long sleave shirt, so arms don't get scraped up, tape loosely hard to reach bolt to socket when mounting.
