Hallo guys.

I have buy cargraphic rear spoiler for mu 911, have you got instruction with picture how i can remove stock rear spoiler??


Thank you

 

It easy,just buy a removal tool from here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Porsche-996-997-...d=p3286.c0.m14

Raise your spoiler up and look at the round metal stand for the hooking holes.lock the tool on and keep tuning until the spoiler come put from the screw.Do the same when you fit the new spoiler back.

 

Hydraulic cylinder and spoiler interface is a screw mechanism:

 

Spoiler is more difficult to remove than 996TT, and the mechanism is different. The tool, however, will work.

You need to elevate the spoiler with the manual button, then insert something to prop up the spoiler a little higher...Porsche uses an inflatable rubber balloon to force the spoiler a few millimeters higher beyond its extension point. Insert the spanner into the hole and rotate it around until the holes match on the inside and the outside.

On the 996TT, the spoiler uses a locking mechanism. On the 997TT, it is a screw mechanism...with the spanner in place, I believe clockwise turn of the handle will loosen the bolt/screw...the hydraulic cylinder is the male component, the spoiler is the female component.

Do the same for both sides, and the spoiler will come off.

Here are a few pics to help...

 

Proper tool and insertion. This is a Hazet spanner with extension bar...about $50 for the bar, $60 for the tool. Ebay tool works, but dents and scratches the cylinder.

 

Bbywu, is there a way to lift the factory spoiler higher?

 

Yes. Two choices...both are a PITA.

1. You could re-bleed the hydraulics. By doing so, you can added additional pentosin when you suck it into the system, and then lock the bolt at a higher height. Doing so is a PITA because it involves bleeding the system. At most, you may get 3-4 more mm of height.

2. Change hydraulic cylinder to the set used for the 997TT cabriolet. The extension height is higher on the cab...but you are altering the aerodynamics for the coupe. Also a PITA because you need to attach the new hydraulics by removing the old and again, rebleeding the system when you attach the new ones.

Best option...do what I did. Get decklid and wing from Ruf and call it a day...lol

 

Thanks for such a quick respond, I was very surprise to see how far one can lift the spoiler up by the hand. I wonder if it lifts higher at highway speeds.

 

My pleasure...

The service manual tells you to set the deployment height to 34.5mm if I remember correctly...the extra play is used to adjust the left and right spoiler to the same height by bleeding each side. You could possibly suck in more hydraulic oil and not bleed each side (thereby allowing a higher height) but bleeding the system takes patience and probably requires two people.

 

so to remove the factory wing blade on a 996TT, you will need to extend the wing all the way up and look for the 2 screws. what tool do i need to remove the factory wing blade?

 

If you do a search on the 996TT forum, there are instructions for the procedure. The wing is mounted a little differently...rather than a screw, there is a bayonet style lock that needs to be untwisted.

 

yes, to loosen it on a 997TT, turn the tool clockwise.

 

Dealer changed out my hydraulic pumps for the spoiler as one side was leaking, rather than rebuild the unit they replaced the whole system. When they removed the spoiler they used a special wrench and lifted the spoiler with a rubber inner tube. You need the rubber inner tube to get the spoiler high enough, to get the wrench enough remove to turn it. It is very tight and you have to be careful or your paint could get damaged.

 

This is the spanner:



It is made by Hazet, runs about $80. It is a 9X12 insert to a standard Hazet extension bar.

The spoiler can be manually elevated without the rubber inflation device...just pull the spoiler upward, and stuff a bunch of pillows to hold it up.

 

for a Cab, no need to pull up on the spoiler since the holes(for the tool) are already exposed on the top part of the posts(closer to the spoiler).
