maybe, i dont know. imo...you are into some HD work and will be using a torque wrench...el cheapo bits will break,flex,round out etc.....think sears at the bottom and snap on at the top. porsche seems to use the triple square [what were they thinking] and you will be working on the car alot.....go snap on

Shoulda took it all out as one. I think it is easier that way. Just the front motor mount, coolant, fuel and dme harness and you should be set... Throttle cable and other little doo dads but your just about there. I used a motor cycle jack to get mine out. It fits under the motor perfectly.. Good luck.
