I can't believe you're wearing a watch while wrenching :) I remove all jewelry, including my watch, before I dig into anything mechanical. Great video, sir!
It does come off if there is a risk of damage to a component, or gets in the way of my hand going into a tight spot. It's an old watch that has been smashed around for years so a little bit more beating just keeps it happy.
Wow, great video, this will be so much help with any leaks that develop. I have a small leak on the pipe that feeds up into the water pump, from underneath I cannot even see the top bolts, now I know what it looks like and where everything goes. I’m sure if you went to Porsche, they would just drop the engine. The special tool design is worth its weight in gold. Many thanks .
Hi Jeff, I've bought a damaged 981 Boxster GTS from a Sydney auction and am on the hunt for parts to repair a LH front suspension accident on the 2015 .... do you have any suggestions for parts - front bar, LH haedlight, suspension companents and airbag kit.
Other than OEM, no suggestions. Maybe shopping around the wreckers but so few of these cars come up at salvage auction and go to wreckers. Also, looking for parts that would be in high demand like you want is also going to make it difficult to find anything other than OEM.
You do a fantastic job for all 981 owners. Hope you know you are appreciated.
Thanks for the feedback. I love the learning, and if some others can benefit then all the better.
Just bought a 981 and it's great knowing you have made such a range of detailed DIY videos. 👍👍
I just sent a donation. You provide so much information. I really appreciate what you are doing for us 981 DIYers.
Donation received. Very much appreciated.

Thank you so much Jeff! I have a 987.1 but from the time I've spent on it so for the configuration of the parts looks the same.

The dealer was trying to charge me $8000 to do this work
