I wanted to do a tune up on the 996 so i started this morning at 10h00.
the job was pretty straight forward but i had trouble with the rusty bolts around the mufflers area OMG
at least 4-5 bolts broke but im not using them anymore as i will install bypass mufflers.
the 3 bolts that hold the bracket to muffler, that was hard, really rusty, small area, real pain,
also, the bad new is that 5 out 6 coils are cracked, some really badly,
should i buy 5 new or 6 ??? suncoast or sunset for best price?
i dont know if some of you had an hard time removing the coil near the sensor on the passenger side. The bracket is so much in the way, but i finally got it hehe .
next jobs:
remove the sparkplugs
flush engine oil
cats removal to install bypass cat

also, when removing the cats, are we using back the gaskets?
and the sensors in the cats, do i remove them with the cats still in place?
or i disconnect them from the engine(clips) and leave them in the cats?
