Unfortunately, the 2 piece plastic shields ahead of the front tire on the left side fender well needs to be removed to get access to the other end of this hose. You may need to postpone replacing it until after the car can be moved and the screws that hold that panel in place can be accessed (most easily done with the tire/wheel off, of course!.

Thanks….was what I was afraid of.

wheels are off….I tilted them under the car to get them off.

i can get at the liner bolts, just not sure if I have the space to maneuver the hose out.

do I need to unbolt the two screws holding the hose bracket to the liner as well to acsess or can I leave it attached to the liner?

all the best,

David

I think you have somthing here...I pulled off the cap for the to the brake fluid resiviour and whe I put it back on it did not close completly...looks like the plastic threads are striped, so turn too far equals loose.

it get tight then drops off.

must be the sorce of a leek.

Well still waiting for my Transmission back place from the Machinest...


So in the meantime I am at pulling the Exhaust and have a question on stratagy/Proceedure.

Have the clamps off (not much rust) and the midection support.

What the Best was to Pull the pipe junction apart???????

Have the car 42cm off the floor so not much room, this seemed easier when I was 40 years younger like the car

many thanks in advance for any advice,

Use a rubber hammer and push the section back!

I start from the back - remove the muffler, (or just the connections to the muffler if possible), then the tubes that connect from the headpipes to the muffler can be 'twisted' in order to break up the corrosion between the pipes at the joint you show. Might spray some penetrating oil into that junction as well and let set overnight before twisting those pipes and pulling them to the rear for removal. Always worked on all 7 928's I've owned in the past 25 years!

Hi all...sorry I seem to be bouncing from one area to another but when I get stalled at one end for part I jump to another area I can work on.

Yesterday the back plate from the machine shop arrived all ready to go, the fill plug was according to them no easy job thanks toFeinMechanik Teltow GmbH for all you did!


I did not use any gasket sealer with the paper gasket. when I removed it it was not there and the area was a tight seal. hope I do not regret it.

Well when I have a narrow garage and park 2 cars lengthwise. This is how I got at the *** end to drop the tank from the back door of the garage. Nice until it rains then my legs get very wet…..

dday830

Hey it all worked, thanks!

you did not mention howeve ttwisting was to be an hour wrestling match with the B**ch.... my bones hurt and I am not eager to do that on my back again ...not in my 20s anymore.


Muffler is off! now i can get at the Axel and change out the leaking drivers side Axel seal.

got at the seal no problem and pulled it... think I drove the new oe in tooo fat and it is not flush but recesed 1-2mm. Also noted the Cork gasket was missing on the axel. that was probably thei issue not the seal!

dday830

Greetings from Teltow!

I have he tank rear axel done and dusted.

Just tried to fire up the car ffor the first time but it sounds like the starter is not engagint to the flywheel.

Where is i go wrong in reassemply??

All done.......My error one of the Hex nuts was not torqued down enough.

dday830

I managed to Squeeze myself between the wall and the wheel well from under the Car:

The before shot...including frayed oil lines in the backround.

the rotten piece of Snuffelupigus Snout (happy to get its soot blowing schnoz of the way of my face)

The after photo...no one will eversee it but at the cost of the OEM parts I needed the photo to hang on my wall! (or to show others how "a fool lets his money get soon Parted")

dday830

As I think I mentioed I hate Allen sockets from working on My Alfa, any time I thake one off I always put in a new oue our of fear of striping in the future.

Confirned A Gorilla must have torked down the old ones as the new ones do not go nearly as far in as the one that needed to be filed out.


New OEM Plugs

Strosek Ultra

The Trebant was a high-tech product developed by the communists in former East Germany. With 600cc and 26 horsepower, it was considered very safe as it could not reach the incredibly high speeds of the vehicles produced in capitalist West Germany. The body was made of plastic, which was considered to provide sufficient protection for an accident where capitalist cars were not involved.
