Anyone has a writeup or any pointers before I tackle this puppy?

 

- Remove wheel
- Remove brake caliper from suspention upright (leave brake line attached) - I like to zip tie it up in place as not to stretch the brake line
- Disconnect brake pad wear sensor
- Remove (unbolt) upper control arms
- Remove (unbolt) steering control arm
- Remove (unbolt) driveshaft from front diff
- Remove the upper strut mount bolts

Once all attachements are unbolted you will need to press down on the strut and angle it downward and outside of the front quarter panel.....it barely fits and you may need to use some spring compressors the reduce the strut height to clear the panel. Then use some lubricant at the base of the strut and a prybar to spread the lower capture apart (of course after removing bolt).......hope that helps...............

 

Do any of the bolts need to be replaced??? I know Porsche uses a lot of torque to yield bolts.
