There is lots of AOS DIY in Renntech ,986 Forum and here.
Suggest you start with a special tools list -Mayhew remote hose clamp pliers, very bright LED Inspection lamps ?
Also familiarize yourself with the parts you may break - brittle plastic hose clamps for example.
Inspect some of there fasteners and clamps off the car so you understand exactly where to pry/twist/rotate.
Be aware of the 'while you are in there' list - like leaky /cracked oil filler tube ,broken vac line connectors ,the "Y" connector in the wiring harness, replace trans oil ? The while you are in there list can be just as important as the AOS replacement.
Do you have a competent Indie in your area ? A first time effort at this job without a tall lift,correct tools and replacement parts could be counter productive?
