I have to replace the starter ring on my sons 924S ( ring was trashed due to wrong starter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) i was sold) I am almost there, but am unable to pull the torque tube out of the front bellhousing. i have been at it for two days now and am considering making it a parts car if i cant pull the damn thing out. it is suppose to come out without force. I have all the workshop manuals and advice on other forums but need some sort of trick to make it come out.

Dont forget to remove the front bumper, radiator, motor and heater core so you can properly access the little C clip...
Might need to remove the center console, shifter , radio, dash board and steering wheel also.. Seriously. While all you 924S experts are paying attention. How do you replace the heater hoses that go to the heater core? It appears that the clamp is inside the car??? Is that right? Do I need to remove the heater core to get to these hose clamps? Its getting cold and my looped back hose needs to be replaced... Rich |

On earlier 924/944's, it can be done from inside with the heater assemble in place. I have used a 1/4" extension with a u-joint 6mm or 7mm socket to undo the clamps. I also have a couple of Hazet fleaxable nut drives made to the 6mm or 7mm hose clamps. It helps if you have a helper to push the new hose onto the nipple of the heater core while you are holding the clamp out of the way and getting it to slide over the hose. Jim |
