Make sure you read the usual stuff:
airoilseparatorreplacement - mikefocke2
Pelican Technical Article: Boxster Air / Oil Separator Replacement - 986 / 987
Replace the Air/Oil Separator

I basically replaced the AOS without removing anything else and working from the top of the engine, not an experience that I'd like to repeat. I probably would try to follow Pedro's advice and remove some more stuff from the top to get better access.

The only special tool that you NEED is the cable operated hose clamp pliers.

Good luck.
