In this video my friend Forrest needed a front axle replaced in his 2004 Porsche 911 Turbo. The CV-joint blew out (a tear in the rubber boot allowed bearing/joint grease to drain out = excess friction/wear). After reading up on a few procedures online, we decided to tackle the repair ourselves in my garage to get this daily driver back on the road. Join us to see how this procedure can be done quickly with basic tools (with the exception of a torque wrench rated for over 350 ft-lbs). Alternatively, we could have just replaced the actual CV-joint in his axle. Because his car is relatively old with high mileage, we believed a full axle replacement was a better choice. We also wanna note that in the Porsche factory manual, it calls for the removal of the brake caliper and rotor. However, as you can see in the install that its not-required.

And I thought my GT3 was in a bad shape…
Very nice, informative and detailed oriented video. Just wear the mechanical gloves next time J
Thanks for the video! Seems like a pretty straightforward procedure. Did you try loosening the axle nut with your gun? P.S. The anal por-sha owners always want the center cap pointing at the valve stem! 🙂
Dude, you should get some coveralls. They’re super comfy and you can strip them off in a minute into street clothes. Best part is less laundry.
Quality video. Nice pacing, nice edits, transitions weren't too obnoxious. You even threw in some Math at the end there. Well done. Subscribed.
Nice. the second "Jesus" bolt after the crank flange bolt. In my opinion….
This 911 could use some TLC…I own a VW2002 MK 4, 1.8 T with 265,000 and it's in better shape than this 911…Being a former Crew Chief on Huey Gunships in Vietnam 1970-71. I learned a few things about maintaining machines.
I enjoy your work your attention to Detail shows.
