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

Great work you are doing in the Tabi garage'. Took a ride in one on a visit to Berlin a few years back. Certainly not built by Porsche!! - HA.

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 stratary/Proceedure.

Have the clamps off (not much rust) and the misection 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!
