Tubes and seals

[Taz]

Do you have to remove the valve covers to do the job and how do you place the o ring in the hole correctly.I was told 8 hours labor

I'm pretty good at messing around with tune ups trans change alt change belts starters .this is my first boxster not sure on the steps to do this job.I did put in new spark plugs on the car two years ago.if I take out the spark plugs what do I do next.

The tubes surround the spark plugs. So you basically just yank them out and replace them with new ones and pop the seals on them and reseat them.

Mine were in there real good due to age and heat.

Are you sure it was the spark plug tubes they quoted you 8 hours labor to replace? It's about a 1.5-2 hour job max if you have a lift. Doing it on the ground with jack stands takes a little longer, but it sure ain't 8 hours.
