Still managed to leak some fluid when the collector hose slipped, but gave me an excuse to do some additional cleaning while in there.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What are the tricks for reaching the bleeder valve on a 2000 Boxster? I can put a wrench on it, but I don't have enough room or strenght to turn it at all. Any tips would be great. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

What you need is a short double box wrench with one end that is the correct metric size. I have a Craftsman unit that is about 3 1/2 inches long and swings in the restricted area, making it perfect for this application............

POST 3Original post

I agree...I have a set of "shorty" wrenches and they sure came in handy on this one. Still managed to leak some fluid when the collector hose slipped, but gave me an excuse to do some additional cleaning while in there. Probably goes without saying, but be certain the clutch pedal is depressed before attempting or you're wasting your efforts (assuming you pressure bleed).

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
