Replacing 996 TT coolant expansion tank!
#1
![Question](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hi, is there anyone out there with the Workshop Manual for this? I am stuck, and cannot remove the tank. I need some more inspiration. Anyone wanna help out and print and send me a copy, or if it's OK, upload it onto this thread?
If anyone can help me here. Here's what has happened so far in order:
1. Jacked up the car
2. placed jack stands
3. placed jack under engine
4. drained coolant
5. removed IC hoses on Y-Pipe
6. lowered engine with engine screws under car
7. removed hoses on Coolant Expansion tank
Now I'm stuck. I can't seem to remove the coolant tank.
I unscrewed the nut attached to the cars body.
I can't pull it out far enough to remove it from the track it's attached to.
Anyone with experience, please help. I appreciate any info on this.
Best,
Keith
