Wow-- not what I had hoped to hear. Yes, I did disassemble one or 2 of these 'chinese puzzle boxes' from VW vans in the early 70s, but that's been a while now. For now, I guess un-doing the other 6 hex-bolts and pulling the whole thing off seems prudent-- damn they make it harder than they ought. There exist boots (on my Subaru for instance) that are split along the sides, with little hardware along the edges to secure them. Why couldn't Porsche use those?? Ten min., start to finish.

Q: Why do some guys like BMWs?
