Porsche Cayman S 987.2 How to replace your spark plugs & coil packs, part 3 of 4 removing coil packs

Porsche Cayman S Boxster S 987.2 3.4 How to change the spark plugs and coil packs.
In this 4 part video, I demonstrate how to change the spark plugs and coil packs on this Porsche Cayman S 2009 - 2012 model year. This is the 3.4 flat six engine. I've broken this down into 4 videos as this job is quite long. I would schedule yourself at least 2 hours to complete from start to finish.
Part 1 - Removing the wheel arch liners. firstly you will need to jack the rear of the car up and remove the rear wheels. You could do this job one side at a time. Removing the wheel arch liners is straight forward. This gives you access to the heat shields which cover the coil packs.
Part 2 - Removing the heat shields, the left hand side is straight forward, you need an E10 socket to remove two bolts. The right hand side is slightly more tricky as one of the bolts is located right behind the catalytic converter. An E10 spanner may be easier to use for this one as there's not enough room for a socket
Part 3 - Removing the coil packs, A T30 socket is required. The most difficult part here is removing the plug connector. I find the easiest way is to push the connector on, press the tab in, then pull the connector off. I would avoid trying to use a screwdriver etc. as it's likely to brake. The coil packs pull out by hand and no special tool is required.
Part 4 - Replacing the spark plugs, the spark plug size is 5/8 or 16mm . They come out fairly easily, you will need an assortment of extensions and if you have some with a wobble or swivel end, it makes life a bit easier as these give you several degrees of angle for those awkward spots.
Before fitting the new plugs, check the gaps look even with the others, the plugs come from the factory with the gap preset. There's no harm in checking the gap but if I was to find the gaps well out, I would send the plug back and get another. They shouldn't need adjusting.
Next is tightening, If you are unsure how tight to do them, use a torque wrench. The torque setting will be between 20 - 30Nm depending on the plugs you are using, this can vary. If tightening by hand, follow the manufactures recommendation, normally screw in by hand first and then tighten between 1/4 - 1/2 a turn
Hope these step by step videos help you.
