5 stars. I am rebuilding a 2001 Boxster S and you are my best friend. Do you have a Steering Knuckle replacement video? Can you link it if so? If not please do one. Awesome!!!
You make the best tutorials on RU-vid. Well filmed, clear and well explained and you also have a pleasant way of speaking. I hope you will post many more 996 videos.
Love the videos! Can u go over the 996 charging cable, alternator, and starter service? A lot of 996 have bad starts which is related to this cable. Thanks :)
Mike your videos are the best in maintaining the 996, very helpful guide for the DIYs. Would appreciate if you can make a tutorial for the Transmission filter change some day, always good to learn. take care and stay safe!
You can always measure the center of the wheel and the fender liner before removing the wheel. On the lift, we go until were about to take weight off of the lift arm and set it that way!
I see that you're applying torque to the bolts, but conventional wisdom suggests that torque should be applied to nuts. Since the nut/bolt attachments aren't threaded into the control arms themselves, is this a moot point? Are the torque values specific to the bolt side of the fastener, and therefore is also a moot point? Or am I just splitting hairs and overly concerned for no reason, and therefore also a moot point and I need to relax? lol Thanks!
I’d like to use Meyle parts in my 986 but seen in videos that the brake air duct doesn’t fit seamlessly and needs some cutting so it can be latched back on. That made me have second thoughts on Meyle’s parts. Any thoughts?
May be a stupid question - but how do you know you have it at ride height - when doing the final torque ? Do you take a measurement before work starts with wheel on - measuring from centre of wheel to top of wheel Arch - and then replicate that measurement with center of wheel hub to top of wheel arch?
Hi Hugh, you could start by taking a measurement from the center of the wheel to the lip of the fender and then replicate that with your floor jack when ready to tighten down the new hardware.
Do you guys have someone to chat with regarding what I need to do a suspension refresh, either via phone/email, or in person? I'm pretty local, just up route 25 from you guys in Newtown.
