I have to agree with pulling off the wheels. I tried the ramps-only method, and despite invoking the elder gods, I could NOT get the forward flange nuts off. And my flexible extension twisted into a pretzel.
Taking the wheels off and taking the vice-grips to the heat shield seam made it do-able.

I put one on my 08CS and I am very happy with it. The whole installation process took less than 5 minutes, extremely E-Z to do. I would recommend Das Schild, pricey yes, but it does what it advertises. I felt the need for this product due to the fact that my wife and I enjoy weekend road trips, now I never worry about damage to the aluminum bonnet.

I try to always buy Craftsman for 2 reasons: 1) Outstanding quality 2) Made in USA , maybe a small point but I personally have had enough of made in china.

Yes Croc'ed. I had intended to add pictures of the installation, and I did add the pictures in forum discussion "Power Steering fixes without big bucks". However, in spite of K-Man S's discussion of how to edit an article, I could find no "edit' button. I was off to the CIRPCA DE at Putnam Park and did not have a chance to inquire with K-Man or Beez about how to do this. I will find a way to add the pictures, and an update, to that article in the next few days. As for the update ....
While I had no power steering failure at the track this time, I did "use" (or better "leak") PS fluid. I kept the foam pad and carpet off of the engine so I could check the level regularly and the level went down in spite of the cooler. I don't know if teh Porsche dealer missed any other leaks when he replaced the high pressure PS lines (which would explain the 3 PS failures if he did), so the problem is not completely solved yet. What IS obvious is the PS reservoir is much smaller than on the 911 or other Porsches and hot PS fluid may expand out the overflow leaving too little in the tank to prevent air from getting into the PS pump/lines which will result in compression and heating, perhaps to the point of causing the plastic seals to leak. In addition the connection between the pump and the reservoir is not very positive (mine was loose and leaking).
To address this unfortunate set of circumstances, I removed my rear intake crossover (to get to the PS pump ... an easy job with two rubber seals and screw-clamps) and secured the PS reservoir, then I added a Porsche 944 PS reservoir ($25 and much bigger) in series with the Cayman PS reservoir and filled both, so hot overflow from the small Cayman reservoir will be caught in the larger reservoir and hopefully sucked back upon cooling. This, however, depends upon a good air-tight seal on the Cayman reservoir (it looks like it should be tight like a radiator cap). I'll admit, I'm not happy, but I made it through 4 track days (2 full lapping days) with no problems. I'm watching for wet spots on the garage and/or trailer floor to see if PS fluid is still leaking while stopped. If this works, I will probably completely remove the Cayman reservoir (making a coupler to fit that on the pump) with a line to a much larger PS reservoir.

I was performing this install in my 07' Boxster and I came upon a difference in the install. I don't know if its due to the fact that it's a 2.7 or that is a 5 speed. The article is perfect except you don't have to cut the shift cables and separate them, you can leave them alone because they won't interfere with the clearance of the install. Other than that, follow the instructions and and everything will work out.
