NO LIFT !!
its easy with the right leverage position, but on your back on the floor... its hard to gain leverage even with a breaker bar

If it was left handed threads, breaker bar equals broken bolt. Gotta be careful boys.

LV, What are the benefits to the Devlac for track use?

Ah, that makes more sense

I ran down to Lowe's and picked up a black iron 2" diameter 3' pipe. Slide it over my ratchet and SNAP!!!! it loosens that sucker up with a sound that will make you think the case just split open

yea, a little scary the first time.

changing the oil on the 3.2 the drain plug spec is ~55 ft/lbs - I can assure you I stopped well short of that too - there is no way it needs to be that tight!

I'm sorry but I so disagree. Why mess with perfection, the lines on the stock 996 are absolutely beautiful.
