Hey Shaun, if you need a set of factory service manuals, I have a new set I'd sell. Never been used... See the 928 classifieds...

JR
Excellent advice! I can get all of the tools, hope the job is as easy as my Tundra. Probably not.

Thanks for the offer, I will send a PM over the weekend.

JR knows of what he speaks. I can say without hesitation that the 928 was easier to drive than a 911 and more confidence inspiring. Absolutely unflappable and makes you feel invincible as a driver. Heavy compared to a 911 of the same era, but frankly small and light by today's standards.

Good luck with it Shaun. I still have the factory belt tension gauge (which costs a small fortune). I'd lend it to you, but sadly it was a Hurricane Sandy flood victim so I'm not sure I'd trust it as this point.

Please post a few more pics of your car Jacob. I am thankful that this car is nice, but not even close to too nice to drive. It will be a great daily driver.
