1999 C2 Generator

[Lee Quave]

Help!

I have a 1999 C2 with six speed and I’m the process of replacing my cracked oil fill tube. All fine so far but I’m having trouble installed the generator. The workshop manual for installing the oil filler neck says install generator, but it’s not that simple. There must be a trick. I’ve crack a vacuum line already and I’m worried I might do more damage. Any clues would be appreciated.

Thanks, :help:

I figured it out. It was real tight coming out also. I had to use WD-40 and a pry bar to get the right side disconnected.

I took the generator out and lightly filed the contract points and it was able to slip right in.

The next project is the front brakes. Porsche service dept. said the front pads are getting close and should be change along with the front rotors. The car only has 58,000 miles I would think the rotors would be fine. Is this just the service dept. selling their services or should rotors be change at the same time the pads are changed?
