Unless you like being towed and replacing starters and transmission housing parts - replace it. It's a big deal.

Yes, replace it. They aren't very expensive from your Porsche Dealer Parts Dept. Small $ for peace of mind and cv joint.

We're glad you asked, too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
We would have to have your axle let loose, come swinging around and smash up the transmission and starter. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Too much of that going around lately. Be sure to put the correct knorr washer under the bolthead, and then retorque them at about 500 miles. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

Hey, chief, should we use a thread lock on those pesky bolts?

Short answer: no, but safety wire is a good idea.
That question was asked recently, Dino... others have discussed it better than I can. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Check out this thread: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...=ST&f=2&t=14264 -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
