Thanks for posting this...I know when we've talked on the phone, you've mentioned how easy it is. Smokiemon and I attempted to do his, but some of his hex bolts were rusted in place and we snapped the heads off of at least one, maybe two!



This post is very timely, as I want to do mine and now may actually have the time to do so. Now watch, I'll get slammed with stuff now that I said that! I am going to plan to have my "friend" be my photographer and send some pictures to add to this document for a more visual DIY.



Anyone take off the rear cover?

I am sure it is just as easy. I am getting ready to do this in the next few weeks as I prep the car for a full respray.

No matter how much I appreciate this DIY, for me to comprehend fully what is written I need some pics! Flash, did you ever get those pics from rxter and if so, mind sharing them with us?

I did this DIY a month or so back and the only thing I found where a picture might help was locating all 3 bolts inside the fender well. They are up there deep and you need safely glasses on to get at them as the dirt and dust falls directly in your face when you try to get a socket on those suckers. Shame I didn't think of taking pics when I removed mine.

Flash, thanks for this.  I went to the local garage yesterday to see if the mechanic had a pin-extractor tool as I need to finish the installation of my cruise control. As I was talking to him his apprentice muttered "smoke" ..... "no thanks" was my reply ....... "no, your car is smoking!!" ...... sure enough, tiny whisps of smoke rising from the front catch  :whine:  :whine:

 

Not sure it's the same for all, but on my 968 the "emergency" hood pull shares a grommet with the alarm micro-switch wires ..... what a dumb idea: a bare steel hawser squashed against thin, current carrying wires, at some stage those alarm wires are bound to short and melt.

 

I would recommend anyone to feed some heat-shrink, and maybe a little grease, in between the wire pull and the micro-switch wires before you too need to remove the front bumper.
