I was able to use some angled needle-nose pliers exactly like you described. I think the pair I used were some semi-disposable Harbor Freight junk, so I wasn't going to be sad if they didn't hold up.

Yup. I had to do the same when I updated the water pump for my 84. Totally worth the effort.

Fuchs are all early offset- 87 and later cars have a different offset to accommodate ABS, so you're out of luck.

You probably just need to replace a clip or two in the driver's footwell- that's the most common failure point for the late car always blowing hot air. 944 HVAC Operation and Malfunctions...

Had the same issue w/ the license plate light here- yet another downside to the PO's installation of those stupid light bar rigs that go where the license plate is supposed to go. The lighted plate...

Yup, if you go with a non-inertial 3-point belt, it's actually a super-easy install. The upper mounting point is present even in the early 944s (my 84 has them)- there's just a plastic screw in the...

Yeah, something's not right there- I have the same 8010 hub installed in my 84, and there's very little gap there:

If you want performance, skip the header and exhaust, and DEFINITELY skip the 'cold air intake'. You won't get much (if anything) out of any of these on an NA.

Legitimately useful performance mods...

Yup, That's exactly it. Red, white, silver, etc. 944s got the black emblem too, whereas brown, blue, etc. got the silver ones. Same logic goes for the broad '=====PORSCHE=====' decal just above the...

Quite a few threads here and over on Rennlist about it.

Short version: Buy it. Install it. Love it. Also, put in a 4-degree offset cam key (928 Motorsports sells them) the next time you do a...

The easiest place to potentially profit from a junker is the wheels- if it has Fuchs, you definitely want them. They sell for $1000+ USD for a set that's in semi-decent shape, and can go for as much...

If you have the oval dash, you don't have the mechanical odometer- that's only on the square dash cars to my knowledge, which ran through 1985.1. Still might be worth cleaning out the odometer...

Can't speak to the number of teeth, but that's the right gear. I had the same 'slipping' problem with my odometer, but after gluing it, the shaft itself still had enough play in it to lose the mesh...

I had a leaking injector cause the same thing- if you haven't replaced the seals or refurbed your injectors, it might be worth doing regardless. A re-seal kit is cheap- I want to say it was less than...

You don't need a lift, just a jack and a couple stands. Now, a lift will be easier, but if you *have* the jack, I'd start there. :)

If you haven't asked around yet, I'd start with getting some quotes from well-liked PDR shops- those kinds of jobs can frequently come out a lot cheaper than you'd think.
