Ronnie was correct. I missed the M491 reference. He needed to be the big daddy. He deserved it.

I do not play these strange sexual reference games. I don't think like that.

FWIW, Here's Rich with his special mask thinking "Hell yes"..............

Even though that pic is a still, I can see Rich's haunches quivering as if an earthquake was taking place!

PB Blaster applied 2 or 3 times a day or so before you begin...

Many thanks, and happy holidays to all!

boxwrenches, boxwrenches, boxwrenches. Also hit the connections with PB blaster first

If you are DIY self type Porsche guy, you should have a full set of tools. Then you use what fits. If the DAPO rounded off the connections, the vise grip is the smartest fall back. As is PB blaster, a MAPP torch, cheater bar, sawzall and any other grunt, grunt device.

I also include band-aids, beer and a helper in case the car falls on you. The helper can also make a beer run whilst you scratch yer haid and do the WTF look.

The 11mm flare wrench is the only specialty tool you will need.

The first time I changed mine it took me like five hours. The second time, I did it in about an hour, while having a conversation with a friend.

Do NOT remove the calipers! Why would you want them to be moving around when you are trying to remove the lines? My calipers were off the second time, and then I had to re-align the hard lines when I mounted them back up. Not the end of the world, but a second step nonetheless.

Just take your time, and have fun.

Craftsman metric set. Sears is hitting a low point and are closing stores all over the country, find a good sale or coupon online. Buying individual tools is expensive. Harbor Freight is also a good place.

Wow 32 posts for flex line replacement? I've seen less for transmission overhaul. Merry Christmas Pelicans great board, very helpful.

We had a 4 page thread a while ago about removing the steering wheel.

No, really! It just kept going and going and going...

mreid 12-23-2015 02:17 PM

Yeah, but can you do it without smashing yourself in the face?!

You are setting this place on fire, Bro.

I like it. Plus the jokes are better than Joe Bob's.

mreid 12-23-2015 03:44 PM

Just doing my part to keep the brotherhood alive..

..and then pesky Pazuzu comes along and f's it all up.

He is pesky. I'll speak with him offline.

That whole 19MM socket thing, although he did mention it well before you beat our batch asses to death for not, is probably a point I will bring up with him.:D

Seriously, happy holidays to all.

mreid 12-23-2015 08:20 PM

Btw, either your advice to Obama sucks or he's not a good listener. Given its Christmas, I'll go with the later. Step it up in 2016, okay? We're all depending on you.
