Just replaced AOS on 2000 Boxster. It took 3 hours but will be faster the next time. the instructions posted were extremely helpfull. the lower spring loaded clamp was by far the biggest PITA but i ended up cutting the bellows, pulled the AOS out and had better access to the clamp. i replaced the lower clamp with a "screw" type clamp to make the next time easier.
this was my first repair job on the car and i have to say that i hated the "small" work space i had to deal with. my other car is a corvette and i now appreciate having a large engine bay to work in without working around a clamshell.
all in all, not a bad repair and worth the time to DIY instead of paying someone else to do it.
