Hey guys. Any of you happen to have a 996tt rear wing spanner tool I can use/borrow? I just need it to swap my wing hydarulics. Lunch/beer for your kindness is on me.

Thanks!
Jon

 

I have one that you can use if you still need one. I'm in San Ramon/Danville area. It might be easier for you just go to SharkWerks and borrow their's; I'm sure they don't mind.

 

hey i appreciate it. I actually hit Alex up a few days ago. He kindly suggested I drop by to borrow their spanner tool. Sharkwerks to the rescue again!

 

Always! I'm surprise he didn't put it on for you for free.

 

haha. it wouldn't suprise me if alex/james offered such. they're just cool like that.

I would love to pay them to swap my spoiler hydraulics for me, but the only problem would be getting the spare turbo lid to fit in the p-car to bring over to them haha (remember i need the tool so I have no way to 'gut' the spare lid yet). If I have the tool to remove it, I might as well do the swap myself while I'm at it to minimize the back-and-forth trips.

 

I hear ya. So any pics of the new look?

 

i haven't found time to pick up the tool from alex yet lol. my fault.

After all is said and done, I won't even have a new look. I'm just replacing my leaking spoiler hydraulic system with a known good spare one I picked up.

It's like a timing belt job...you spend all this time and money...and at the end of the day, you have no gains to show for it.

 

It's for a peace of mind and feeling good internally... if you buy it, I know I won't.

Remember kind of shake the hydraulics after you put the wing on, and before tightening the hydraulics to the deck lid. This allows the wing to settle in a natural position with the hydraulic system, so it can move up/down smoother.

Good luck!

 

thanks for the tip! did you put yours on by yourself as well? should i be freaking out about messing up? hahaha.

 

Nothing to worry. James did it the first time for me and I watched; and I did it myself the second time (defect replacement).

If just happens that you messed up (oddly), we are in good hands (short drive to the sharks cove).

 

thx
