I assume you mean the hard line that connects directly to the reservoir. If so, hold the red ring evenly against the reservoir with the sides of a pair of needle nose pliers or the like. It is essential that it is evenly pushed in, while holding it against the housing, simply pull the hard line out of the housing. To reinstall, just push it back in.
Hope that is clear.

Boxtaboy,

I think your friend needs to invest in a trans oil cooler if he is going through transmissions like that (or driving lessons

). I have over 107k miles on my car with the original transmission. The car has been a supercharged 2.5, a 3.4, a 3.6 and a 3.6 X51 for most of those miles.

Does he advise "Go that way very fast. If something get's in your way, turn."?

996 Fuel lines flipped around to boxster location on the 996 motor.

Todd,

Do I flip them back around to stock 996 location and run a shorter return or do I leave them the way the boxster lines are placed and run a longer return?

I replied to your PM. If you want to use the 996 rails, you don't have to, you need to get an adapter and lengthen the supply line from the passenger side to the drivers side fitting. You will also need to fabricate a longer return line in order to work on the 996 rails. Using the boxster rails is easier, just cut off the mounting tabs and place them on top of the rails to work on the taller 996 intake.

Make sure you take off the 996 exhaust mounts before you put the motor back in.

Ok. I finally got some of the gaskets that I ordered in. Below is a photo of the engine suspended by a non approved method by porsche

This is what happens when you do not have a engine stand but have a lighting equipment company. I needed to get the motor off the floor to get the carrera mounts off it and the headers and also the water lines that run underneath the motor. We do not have water lines that run under our 986 motor just incase you were wondering. I was also able at this point to swap the lower water outlet in the other photo below with the motor in the air.
