This 77 Porsche 911S belongs to a friend of mine, the car's name is Heinrich. I'm not amused about the fact that often people sneak around Heinrich when my own cars are around. The film contains the replacement of the MacPherson Strut. Sounds simple. Isn't.

Among my favorite aspects of your channel is that your narration makes it seem as though a Bond villain is providing the exposition for his evil plot to fix James' car.

@elcap6568 Год назад

By way of a lesson in sucking eggs... Aside from heat, one thing that's often helpful when separating tapered joints and other stuck joints, is to place another (bigger) hammer on the far side of the joint to the spot where you're hitting it. It helps ensure that the shock is only applied to the joint in question and it often means you don't have to hit it as hard to shock the taper (or stuck thread) apart.

@arnosmulders6338 Год назад

I like this and your older videos. "I'm secretly planning to become insanely rich by doing this, but I think I deserved it." --> Sure go for it! Question: for suspension to be so seized up, is that just coincidence or a bit of late maintenance?

@GreasyFingers Год назад

Thanks, Arno. I’d rather say „it is how it is“. You wouldn’t loosen screws just for the sake of knowing whether they can still be loosened or are already seized. It’s a “we cross that bridge when we’re getting there”.

Nice work! I did laugh pretty hard when you got that dinky ratchet out to loosen the ball joint nut. The last few times I actually take the control arm off and do it upside down, it's way easier, but then again I don't have a two post lift, just a quick jack. Keep up the great videos, very entertaining!

Hello Johannes , hope you’re fine and always good and relaxing to watch your videos especially with good music Btw , I am going to make my 911 cab underneath ice cleaned and I wonder what would be your recommendations for a wax protection ( Stock method in 1987 versus New ones ?). I could make you a bit more rich with affiliations 😊 Stephane

@jamesadey8744 Год назад

I might have been tempted to pop the special socket on the Milwaukie impact wrench, but I suspect that could have ended in disaster for either the nut or the socket. Either way, you did a great job of freeing it off with the bar. Great video.

@georgebettiol8338 Год назад

Agree - the temptation of applying the impact driver to the issue needs to be curtailed when 'frustration and seeing red' begins to take hold - something that only experience teaches you. Just looking at the expensive special Porsche socket indicates that it's somewhat fragile if used with an impact driver.

@GreasyFingers Год назад

Yes, I agree. Simply didn’t have that idea at the right time.

@heliocoelhosilva1 6 месяцев назад

Hi there, amazing channel. Hello, many congratulations on your work... it is so inspiring that I now own a 87 Porsche G in a state of distress, and I would like to know if you use or advise any workshop manual ( in english)that helps with the disassembly and assembly of the various components and respective torque values. Thanks and keep going one german beer at a time

@GreasyFingers 6 месяцев назад

Hello Helio, cheers, welcome to the club. I recommend to buy the original Porsche workshop manual, it costs about 1500 Euro, but you can bring it to a scan shop and then resell it. There’s a German company who sometimes have them, they’re named pk-buch.de

@pierremartin9048 Год назад

Indeed, don’t like running out of grease!

@GreasyFingers Год назад

Mustn’t happen! 😆

@JanDootjes Год назад

Superb Job! Just a question, i also did this job recently to my 930 but i applied a little grease to the threats of all fasteners. Is there a reason you just bolt everything together without greasing stuff?

@lukasmatzinger Год назад

I would say that unless a torque spec specifies lubricant on the threads (e.g. a specific Loctite product, ARP head bolts require ARP lube, rod bolts sometimes require engine oil etc), I would consider it a dry torque spec. If you lubricate the threads you significantly increase the stretching of the bolt, which might cause it to fail if it goes over the max allowed for that fastener. I would however use grease or even better anti-seize on all metal to metal surfaces, like the ball joint to spindle interface, the back side of the rim where it contacts the hub etc. This is especially important on dissimilar metal surfaces (e.g. alu touching steel etc) and will ensure that the next owner in 30 years won't have as tough as a job as Mr. Greasy Fingers is having here.

My 2002 Acura has a similar LCA with ball joint like that, except it has a separate steering knuckle from the strut. The ball joint is so seized to the absolute max, I’m thinking of unbolting the LCA and remove it with the knuckle attached, and cutting the LCA off and try to point the ball joint out of the knuckle, and just buy a new lower control arm. Sometimes the grinder has to come out and chop and replace has to happen
