I haven't had to do it, but I don't expect it to be hard. Once you remove the trim panels its more than likely straight forward.

So back to my question, have you attempted to do it?

Tools needed:

Torx T30 - Engine cover
Torx T50 - Torque support brace
Torx E12 socket - Spark plug coils
Low profile rachet will help with rear plugs on driver side

If I m correct, that s a 60K mile service on the base.

Got to be simple compared to the 911. Mufflers out etc on that, pretty big job.
