Welp. I heard fluid dripping yesterday after turning the car off before finding a small puddle underneath the car. Put the car on jack stands earlier today and discovered the steering rack and everything around the oil cooler covered in oil. Thought it was loose filter but it hadn’t budged since oil changed. Come to find out that the oil pressure sensor back out. Ordered new sealant and will pick up a in. Lbs torque wrench tomorrow to do the job. Dealer doesn’t have availability for two weeks and I have a track day.

There is a TSB for it. (https://latemodel.cachefly.net/downloads/instructions/17-2271.pdf) Be sure to check this every oil change! And make witness marks so you detect movement. Glad I caught it at home instead of the track

What torque and what size socket ?

What torque and what size socket ?

I read that it takes 27mm or 1-1/16”.
124in. Lbs + 180*

Must it be a thin wall socket? Photo makes space look tight.

Doesn’t look too tight. Should be getting to this tomorrow morning. Still gotta get a torque wrench and sealant and socket lol.

Today I did the noise tube removal. What a hateful thing.

I got one of the firewall plugs, #W651016S300. I had a couple caps that would fit the intake and FWIW, they look exactly like the cap used in one of the "kits". I used a zip tie as a clamp. (Yes, the "buckle" part was moved underneath.

I removed the nut from underneath with a flexible head 10mm ratchet wrench. At one point, I swapped over to a socket and universal joint.

My OCD had me put a thread protector cap on the stud where the nut was.

I went for a short ride, and the cabin does seem quieter. For sure, all the noise is now coming from the back which seems more natural to me.

installed "AIR DESIGN" splitter over original base splitter to balance aero after installing gt350 track pack rear spoiler.the 1st and 2 nd pics are the "air design" and the last one is the original splitter.adds at least 1.75 in in splitter surface,perhaps a tad more than the current "pp-1" splitter.
