Well...
Here is the answer. You have to remove both rear wheel well liners, but before you can do that you have to remove the engine bay panels, as there are two bolts that's mounted from the inside of the engine bay that holds the liners in. (idoits!) Also you will have to remove the emission canister along with the O2 sensor connectors first, as they are mounted on top of the liner.
Then you have to remove the engine bay access panel from the inside of the car, before you can do that you will have to remove all the interior panels, and then about 50 bolts to remove the cover. On the spider it is even more difficult, you will have to remove the storage bin which requires 1 torx bit and a 10mm wrench.
After you replaced the spark plugs you will need to find a shop or the dealer with a SD2 to reset the computer to detect new spark plugs. Make no sense, but this is what the SM requires.
To bleed the clutch slave it fairly easy, but wouldn't work with a pressure bleeder, so it is a two people job. Someone needs to push the pedal while you bleed. With the F1 forget it you will need a SD2 system. But bleeding the system will most likely crack the bleeder union, which will require a replacement unit as the stock unit is very prong to cracking, so upgrading to a Hill Engineering unit is a must. While you bleed the clutch slave (thrust bearing) is part of the system (no clutch slave cylinder like the ones on the porsches), you will most likely find out that your thrust bearing seals are leaking, which will require a complete transmission removal. Once you have remove the transmission you find the thrust bearing is making noise, then it would probably be wise to upgrade to another Hills Engineering thrust bearing as the factory unit is crap.
While you are at it, you should remove the clutch and flywheel replace the RMS, since the factory one are also prong to leaking. While you are at it, the pilot bearing too....
The list goes on and on, never ends.
Oh yeah while you are at it, replace the engine oil temp sensor as the factory unit is made by Fiat and are prong to break and give false temp reading.

But, jeez, do they actually employ engineers there and do they use their brains at least some of the time?

Why don't you go to another forum where:
A. Anyone believes the crap you type out.
B. Gives a **** what you say.
C. Understands your language.
Now, I remember where I've seen your name. You were on the 911 board with some cocked up trade scheme and then basically assumed nobody there had any money, and insulted everyone.

Maybe time for a change. If you're so plugged into F-cars, Fchat wants YOU!

OK, you're the financial wizard.
PS-I think it would be gas IN, not ON, a 355.
Can't say much for your communication skills (maybe you'd be more comfortable with skillz, or is it "ud b"?), but your ability to peer into everyone's bank accounts is awesome.
For all we know, you mis-spelled your screen name, you probably meant to be Chrome.

Mark,
Chris and I recently did an overhaul my daily driver 996, including a transmission repair.
We were pretty amazed at the 996 construction and ease of repair. Entire engine and tranny was only held on by 4 bolts. The entire assembly comes out much easier than the 993.
Here is the post I made on the 996 board.

Prior to buying the Ferrari I didn't think I could afford one too, but you just have to imagine in your mind you actually own one, imagine driving it and soon you will have one in the garage. Visualize, experience and then enjoy.
Some people will know exactly what I am referring to.
