Sweet! Can't wait to see what you figure out.

Whew, what a pain and what a relief but at last the leaking tank is out. Thanks to all who had been there done that and documented their trials and tribulations on the forum. I disconnected all the hoses on the engine side with the vehicle on the ground then pulled the tank plus the remnant hoses into the trunk. The remote clamp tool was a lifesaver. Sort of feels like a Boxster right of passage.

Congrats Alex! I remember doing this job. Old tank out without much of an issue. I fought with the New tank connections for hours before getting things buttoned up. I would have dreaded having to do it again! The 996 had the tank and WP done about a year ago so I should be go to go!

Got it just about where it needs to be based on the BlackStone report. So far, so good...

Replaced broken Upper Dipstick Tube. Removing the J-Tube helps with access.
I thought the trunk end "clipped" into the dipstick hole, but actually, you put tension on it when the rubber grommet is positioned in the firewall.

Replaced trunk lock actuator. The old one was acting wonky; It would pull the lock open, but on subsequent presses of the fob, it would not move all the way, then moved less and less. If I let it cool off, it would work.
Got a pre-owned part for $26 shipped. Better than $100. Works like a champ.
My car has the Aero Kit, so the latch is different than some pics I've seen...


Didn't have an 11mm, and the nut was spinning...



Removed the cover


Allen screws

Replaced the front speakers in the dash . Bought Cerwin Vega H740's online for $40.00 shipped to my door . Modified the factory mounts they fit and sound great ! Old one's literally fell apart when I touched them . Next up replace all four rotors and pads .
