Well I have the fan assembly out on the left side and the air cleaner out on the right side because I am doing a ignition wire change and distributor rebuild, so it was easier, but still a royal PITA, especially the forward pins. I am sure you need to remove the air filter cover and air filter as a minimum.
Do yourself a favor. Get a 24" flexible pick-up tool with a magnet on the end.

Sometimes it seems that might make it a little simpler and easier!

The shock ending 01 is 370n and the one ending 02 is 600n
If you think there are different qualities then thats you call. You are comparing parts that came from a production line years apart
The Bosch caps are a prime example, now made in Spain or Czech Republic, not Germany. Do you think they have a production run in a German factory just for Porsche?

911Pervy. You are dead correct. The bosch disti cap is the same quality and part as the one with the Porsche inventory number these days. The DME relay is a perfect example of a part now made in Czech repub...
Thanks for the nm specs on the 01 & 02. I have found the perfect combo is one of each....

Three Wheelin'
FWIW, I replaced both of mine with 911.512.331.02 versions (from PP for $13.75 ea) in spring '06. That year I could flip burgers from the lid if I didn't use my hand to control it ( I'm part Jedi, in case you are wondering, but that's another story), year two it would come up automatically, but at a very controlled speed. Today, they take about 10s to fully open the first time, and a couple seconds on subsequent openings.

That is too bad because the qualities between now and what came in the car in the 90s are different, physically.

I wish PP would list manufacturer's part numbers on their site as well. I did "ask a question about this part" and they got back to me with Stabilus numbers that did not make sense.
