These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

Anyone got any advice on removing the screen from the brake fluid reservoir on a '99 986 . Was all set up to do a brake fluid flush per 101 and I couldn't remove the screen from the reservoir so that I could remove some of the old fluid. I tried unscrewing it and just plain pulling it and it wouldn't budge.

POST 2Original post

I don’t know if it’s the same on your 986 , but on my 981 I had to use needle nose pliers to remove mine for the flush. Jim

POST 4Original post

I had trouble using needle nose on my 07 Cayman - not sure why - so just pried it up with a small screwdriver. Needed very little force - it just snaps in with a couple plastic detents, nothing very tricky.

POST 5Original post

Thanks. Tried the needle nose route initially but the reservoir moved more than the screen and I was concerned about cracking the reservoir. Thought there might be a trick I was missing. I guess I'll revisit it with the pliers and keep my fingers crossed.

POST 6Original post

Just bleed it all through the brakes. That’s what I have done on many cars without issues.
