 | I found a great article on www.pelicanparts.com on how to remove and replace the oil lines on the oil thermostat on a Porsche 911 (or 930). Many people have taken this perilous journey and have met great despair. It is very common to break the thermostat housing, bang up your fender wells, and break a few knuckles.
It is best to replace both oil lines at the same time, but not necessary. If you have to replace the rear line, you might as well sacrifice the front line.
The idea is to cut the oil line close to the thermostat and then grind a slot into the nut that connects the oil line to the thermostat. Be careful not to cut into the thermostat housing. |
