I feel more like a midwife. It's not so much a "pull" as it is "assisting the birth." I mean, it's pretty darn tight throughout the process, fluids are everywhere, smell's bad, and dealing with the umbilical is a bitch.

I have pulled a few motors, the 928 is a walk in the park compared to some.

BTDT...and worth every moment and ounce of blood. These motors have been in these cars for upwards of 30yrs now. I dont think there is a better way to freshen up an engine bay or motor than when its out.

It really isnt that hard either. The two upper bellhousing bolts are probably the worse part of it.

Nah. It's that 10mm-head bolt and nut on the clamp on the top of the engine carrier for the front main harness.

Even so, not that bad. All-in-all, not a big deal pulling the engine.
