Welll...too bad no entries. How about posting the list of items that have to come off? Some are obvious, but are some optional?

Valid question I would have no idea without looking in the manual. But my guess was going to be the front tire and front subfender and inner wheel wheel and possibly the blower motor as its in all in the general area

Looks like the air conditioner condenser box has to come out or at least it has to be moved a few inches away from the cam cover.
I couldn't seen any other way to get the rear most bottom cam bolt cover off.

The tire coming off just makes it easier but not necessary. The blower motor does not have to come off either but the cover does. The passenger side was the easier one to remove. I rember what I took off but don't know what you call everything.:o

Holly crap Bobby you mean the firewall suitcase for the enite ac unit housing?

Re: CONTEST: What has to come off
 

No - just the small cover just adjacent to the cam bolt. If I remember it was just 4 or 5 small screws. Very easy to remove. It's the drivers side that is a PITA. It was hard for me to understand that you had to remove the drivers seat to get to something that was outside of the cockpit:icon_scra

Re: CONTEST: What has to come off
 

Ill have to look at that area again. Hmm 4 to 5 screw sounds like the blower motor back side. Been there done that

I'm just waiting for Jeff to jump in here (once he gets up) and say what a total idiot I was for tackling something like this with little or no experience. We had quite a few "chats" on the phone regarding the removal of the covers. He might change his mind about helping novice mechanics after working with me He'll have a requirement that states "you must have some knowledge before working on your vehicle".:mrgreen: All kidding aside, without Jeff's help my Z would still be in pieces. He has the patience of a Saint.:handshak:

Ya, that's it......

Re: CONTEST: What has to come off
 

I give this post.... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
three thumbs up.
now, my problem is
even with the correct info.
I'd probably lose a screw here or there
but i'd get it off, my main phobia, would
be to re-istall all those parts.
thanks for the great info, Jeff
