Well, I ordered a new AOS for my 99 boxster on wed, received it today and decided to take a look to see how bad it really is. I will say that it took me at max 15 minutes to remove the old one and replace it with the new one. I didn't need a jack either.

I think I will have a great time with this car. Who would be interested in an aftermarket AOS if it was the same price, but was easily serviceable. I have a couple ideas that I will be playing with to see what I can do.

Hi,

I am thinking about replacing the AOS myself. I checked the bottom of AOS. The two bolts are not too difficult to remove but

the two clamps that attach the AOS bellow to engine seems are very difficult to reach and remove especially when you

don't jack up the car high enough.

How did you do it? Any tip to share? Thanks.

Steve

Yup cut the old bellows + 11mm socket is a great OEM clamp holder,,,

Thanks for the info. Extremely helpful. I cut the bellows, removed the AOS from the top and then also removed the clamp from the top.

It worked very well. I successfully installed the new AOS. At the bottom of the AOS, I installed an adjustable clamp.
