Hi Everyone, A quick video on how to replace those failing hood struts on your Porsche 993!

@LordPrometheous 6 лет назад

I have to ask; are you a mechanical engineer or master technician? Your well of knowledge is so deeply extensive and thorough. I've never even spoken to a mechanic / automotive technician who seems to know their craft/hobby as well as you. Thanks for the informative videos.

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

I do have a degree in Engineering... That was close to a million years ago though... Glad you enjoy the videos! Thanks!

@bryanhallman8183 6 лет назад

The .jpeg for the video reminded me of when my Superbeetle did the same thing to me. :-P

@DuckmanCycles 6 лет назад

I got a set of struts.... now I just need a 993! :-D

@marksachse9027 4 года назад

Thank you so much, just replaced my struts. So happy I watched your video and didn’t pay to have them installed.

@destinyreturns4885 3 года назад

Thanks so much for your explanation. I need to replace the hood struts on my '90 964 and thought it better to see what it entails before actually ordering the struts....Peace,

@markthompson6368 Год назад

You guys are the best! I have a 993 C2. You have taught me everything I know. Thank you!

@J.W.W. 6 лет назад

Best thumbnail ever!

@porsche558 6 лет назад

The thumbnail for this video is hilarious I love it! They really don’t give you much room at all to work.

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

That left side? I seriously can't even get my hand down in there... Suuuupper tight...

@walkerskii 2 года назад

Thank you so much for doing this video!! The original owner from whom I bought my 993, used a stick as a full-time hood prop!

@Thrakall 6 лет назад

Why is it so funny when the hood falls on someone while they work. I can't help but laugh but feel horrible for laughing at the same time. Hell I even laugh when I do it to myself. Very nice video thanks for putting it together.

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

You were supposed to laugh, which was why she left it in. I laughed. It hurt but she is okay. Heidi

@klwthe3rd 6 лет назад

What I love about these videos is that ALL the steps are clearly shown with good camera angles and instructions. So many DIY video channels skip shots and don't explain each step which can be very frustrating. If I'm to learn how to do something, I need to learn by seeing each level of the repair. Keep up the great work.

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

Great! Thanks! F

@strup5000 2 года назад

Your video made the job much easier. Thank you!

@stevengreener2941 5 лет назад

Car repair in a white blouse. This may be the classiest repair channel on RU-vid! Thanks for the great footage and instruction. I was trying this myself and couldn’t figure out how to do it.

@psulion101 6 лет назад

Very helpful! I need to replace the struts on my 993 too. Now I have a handy guide. Thanks!

@一万小时 2 года назад

Thank you for this video. Just replaced them on my 993 turbo. I had very little room to work with. A wireless endoscope camera made all the difference. BTW I tied the hood to the ceiling with a bungee cord and didn't have to worry about it falling on my head.

@RocketJohn 6 лет назад

I actually have these replacement struts ready to be replaced on my 993. Now I have this helpful video to guide me. Mine is black on black so no contrast to see what's going on down there. Very very helpful!

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

RocketJohn I couldn’t remember which of my 993 friends needed to do this. I think Dave might as well. Lol. Heidi

@chrisgreenawalt4521 4 года назад

Hi Franny, I am Chris. I have a 1996 993 Cabrio, similar to yours. I need to replace the struts just like you did. This video is very helpful and so are your other videos. Thank you so much. I’m going to give it a shot this weekend :-)

@HeidiandFranny 4 года назад

Hi Chris, You'll do great! Have a nice weekend!

@jdd3993 2 года назад

Thanks Franny, this was super helpful. I am replacing my 993 Cab's with Rennline mechanical versions rather than the hydraulic struts to future-proof this repair once and for all!

@johnirvine3346 2 года назад

Great video. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

@freerkderuiter8822 6 лет назад

First the 996 tried to eat you and now the 993. Never knew Porsches were so aggressive. Great video as always. Even though this is an easy job it's still easy to mess it up a bit by starting with the ball joint or have the strut turned 180 degrees. Thank you for sharing.

@edhughes1891 5 лет назад

Nice job Franny! I'd never replaced a strut with the ball joint and "built-in" pin. But, now I have to give it a go.....

@NickMurray 6 лет назад

Your cars all seem to want to eat Franny. Clearly you are not feeding them.

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

Nick Murray this one wanted to knock her out too. Heidi

@davenorman5588 2 года назад

This was a huge help, thank you!

@michaelbrenner5710 3 года назад

Great explanation, as always. Incredible camera work and editing as well! Had to replace the ones on my 993 as well, front and engine hoods.

@grantsapsford3761 6 лет назад

Another great video, thanks for your efforts and please keep them coming I’ve got to say one thing that strikes me is how pristine your cars look, really meticulously clean and in A1 shape

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

Thanks! On that car, it was many hours prep for concours a couple years ago. You should see the door jambs! I spent a night on each alone... I like to do that once ;)

@grantsapsford3761 6 лет назад

Heidi and Franny's Garage keep it up ladies, I love watching your work

@jameseli5782 6 лет назад

EXCELLENT! This is my next fix - I appreciate you producing a video on this topic - well done!

@jameseli5782 6 лет назад

Finally got to this service item on my car. Thanks you for your video and posting the part numbers - made the job easy for me to finally knock out. (FYI: The slotted screw driver I used was a 3/16 x 10" ) Can I make a video request? Could you show the best practice for replacing the 993 cooling fan/alternator drive belt and the AC belt? Thanks!

@pierredarbost1554 4 года назад

Thank you, these instructional videos are really appreciated.

@justinsane6351 6 лет назад

Great video once again. Hope your head isn't too sore. :)

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

Yeah, I knew better than to use that crappy mono-pod. It has a nice rubber tip so I was thinking it would be great and not mar the top. It just wasn't up to the challenge... It was all "I got it, I got it! ...I don't got it..."

@parkinglotdrifter 6 лет назад

I remember being bonked on the head by the hatch of my mother's old Jeep Cherokee when I did those struts, that's not fun! Thanks for the video, and hope your head is okay, Franny!

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

Thanks! Whats a bit more drain bramage? It grows back, right?

@gregstillman5197 6 лет назад

As I recall, my '76 911S had a longer hood strut, which meant it was way farther down for the "ball" connection; quite difficult to replace. When I did my '91 Carrera 2, it was much "easier" as it wasn't so far down to release the ball clip. Question; where'd you get your camera suction cup mount? I got a GoPro for my birthday and am looking for a nice one like yours. thanks....

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

Hi Greg, I hear the GoPro mounts have a nasty tendency to come loose, but I've never used them. The one in the video is a "RAM". not bad, but can shake on bumpy roads. Great for these static shots though. We use the dual suction cup Gecko mounts and they are pretty solid with the action cams. They do bounce a little with a DSLR. Nick Murry uses some super fancy mounts for his DSLRs because those cameras can get quite heavy, but for the GoPro/Sony the Geko work well for us. They also have a three cup version I want to try out.

@gregstillman5197 6 лет назад

thanks. I'll search for the Gecko mounts.

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

Greg, we should have all our mounts listed in the descriptions of our videos. We get asked about our equipment a lot. The links provided will redirect you to Amazon. The price is the same, but we get a small referral fee from Amazon if you do order there. thanks. Heidi.

@crissignori7482 Год назад

What a great little video !!! I think I might even be able to do this all by myself. ah ah ah BTW Is there much of a difference between aftermarket and the Porsche part? Thank you

@tommyestridge9301 6 лет назад

Great video, the grease might also serve to eliminate any squeaks.

@dono4598 6 лет назад

Thank god you're ok. I almost thought we just witnessed a decapitation... If you could barley reach your hand on one side then then the rest of us with meatier hands are doomed. Great video, thanks as always. Question, will you be doing any brake related videos anytime? Also, I thought I was the only one that still uses "conk" and "schmutz", that's great!

@DuckmanCycles 6 лет назад

LoL @ Thumbnail!

@donmcdonald4874 4 года назад

Thank you Franny!

@OldAssSax 6 лет назад

Glad to know you're human too. Just did hood and trunk struts (along with front & back coil struts) on my beast.

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

Mostly human... My suspicion is there is a fair bit of Neaderthal DNA in there too... ;)

@Jembo28 7 месяцев назад

Careful taking the pin-clips off the top of the old struts. One of mine flew off down into the depths never to be seen again... Couldn't find it by sight or with a magnet.

@HeidiandFranny 7 месяцев назад

That is a bummer. We're you able to retrieve it?

@sportscarnut 6 лет назад

Perfect DIY video!

@carlitoxb110 6 лет назад

Haha great thumbnail keep it up guys !!

@ChuckJ1944 5 лет назад

Great job!

@Laguna2013 6 лет назад

Next up, windshield replacement !

@MyCS-ec7vv 5 лет назад

The rear struts are the same?? I need to replace both front and back on mine

@stangmann1521 6 лет назад

Great DIY video , thanks for sharing this , I have a 2016 GT & it came with a hood prop on it ? Come on Ford , still a hood - prop WHY..Ford..? My next project are hood struts ASAP... !! Both of your Porsche want to eat you.. Hope your head is ok.. ? Take care , can't wait to be in Golden in a few weeks... I might rent a Porsche while I'm in town if I can find one @ HERTS Gold ...

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

Golden is a great town and a good jumping off point for some of the best roads in the state!

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

Not A Porsche, but silvercar is at DIA. I would recommend them. It is all app based. Heidi

@wordreet 6 лет назад

Installation is just the reverse? I'd love to see a video of how you "unbash" yourself on the head!!!! X¬D

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

Might involve a trip to the paintless-dent removal shop!

@wordreet 6 лет назад

Hahaha! Yep!

@leanderian 6 лет назад

What about the clips? Did you have to spring them back on again?

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

Sorry about that... I should have showed that. The new strut socket already have the clips installed so, when you pop them into place, they flex/spread as needed to get over the ball and then cinch right down. In other words, you don't need to fuss with them at all :)
