    On that problematic carpet at 5:42, a friend who's done this advised me to first remove the left rear taillight cover and then pull out the triangular piece starting at the point closet to the rear of the car. Then the bulkhead carpet removes easily. Very easy to do. As far as I can tell, at 5:05, you do need to remove the Torx screws as they screw into the plastic trim piece. I must say, my engine is just about ready to come out and I really appreciate your video. Can't tell you how many times I reviewed parts of it when I got stuck. T-Y.

    I’m so glad I watched this video. It’s been very helpful. Also, I noticed you called the axle a drive shaft it’s not a driveshaft. It’s an axle. I wish you would’ve at least recorded the rest of the video showing the rest of the engine being removed out of the car. It would’ve been helpful. That’s the most interesting and important part!

      +@Eurospec73 as far as showing the car being raised at the end, which I can only assume is the missing part you are referring to, I mentioned I filmed that for my Boxster engine removal video. Same thing, so go watch that one 😉🍻

    Your video is 26:54 including intro’s and outro’s so it’s safe to assume a cayman 987 engine can be removed in 30 minutes. Good to know! 😂
