I just got a new Techart Type 1 wing for my 02 TT. I was able to get the stock wing off the car (turning the risers to release the wing) but can't tell how the metal inserts come out of the stock wing. Do they just thread out? There are threaded inserts in the Techart wing but I'm assuming I need to get the inserts out of the stock wing and thread them into the Techart one to mount it on the risers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

 

Yes they just thread out - dont be affraid to give it a little elbow grease - I had the same issue installing my RUF wing

 

darren, did you install the ruf yourself? I want to get the Roock large spoiler, but I was going to pay someone to do it...is this a DIY?

 

I had the service guys at my Dealer Silver star do it but I watched them and this is easy - You just need that tool from porsche for the lifters

 

Hey Darren thanks for the tip. I made a wrench using a bolt head welded to a rod and they spun right out. To remove the wing you don't really need a special wrench to spin the posts. I wrapped a rubber bunji cord around the post to protect it and used slip joint pliars to turn them. They only need to turn about a quarter turn to release the wing. Pretty easy actually. To remove the inserts from the stock wing you need either a LARGE allen wrench or a 9/16" bolt head which fits right in the hole. I tried using vise grip pliars on a 9/16" bolt to spin the inserts but couldn't get them to spin before the pliars lost their grip on the bolt... thus the special wrench I made.
