How do you remove the rocker panels?
 

Sorry I searched but still could not find detailed directions about removing the rocker panels on a 76 911. I am not very tech savvy, but it doesn't seem too hard, does anyone have directions with pictures, or anything to help out? or can someone direct me to a link?

much appreciated

Slide the black rubber strip out toward the front or back and you'll expose the screws holding the rocker panel to the car. There should also be a screw or two at the ends in the wheel wells. Try using some Simple Green to lube the black strip if you have trouble getting it out.

There are thin metal caps on each end, inside the wheelwells, with 2 small screws each. Remove them first.
Then, peel or slide the rubber off/out of the rocker panel. It's strong rubber, you won't hurt it.
Then, there's 4 or 5 sheetmetal screws along the top edge of the rocker panel, and 3 bolts along the bottom edge. under the 3 bolts are spacers (they're different on each side). They hold the oil lines in place on some cars, so they need to be replaced when you remove the rocker panels.

+1 with Pazuzu.

Re-installing the rubber strip has never been a problem for me, so I can't really recommend the simple green tactic. I know that it would make the rubber a little more slippery to aid in getting it back into the channels, but if I were to use some kind of soap product, it would probably be just a mix of mild dish soap like Ivory, Dawn, or other similar product mixed with water. I don't believe that I would use simple green, because if I remember correctly, is is somewhat caustic, and may damage your paint.(then again, maybe it isn't caustic) Good luck!! Tony.

I found using the silicon lube that one would use on sparkplug wire caps works very nice to slide the rubber back on, it comes in a tube for about 3-4 bucks.

KY Jelly, or your own favorite lubricant of choice :) Water soluble, cheap, clear, no staining, and slippery as...well, you know.

Thanks my car looks 10x better, now to fill in the holes, any suggestions?

I just put stainless-steel self-tapping sheetmetal screws into the holes and painted them body color. After all, it's sort of an "industrial"-looking area, once you take the rocker panels off (particularly on the oil-lines side) that doesn't demand Q-Tip detailing.
