Pelican Technical Article: Boxster Water Pump & Boxster Thermostat Replacement - 986 / 987

Replace Water Pump

Also get the Bentley manual from Amazon, the DIY must have.

If you replace the motor mount at the same time, the WP is a peice of cake. You can torque all the bolts with a torque wrench very easily.
