I tried searching for this item on the site, but did not find anything specific enough.
I want to remove the rear axles and replace them with some high performance axles/CVs. The Haynes and the Porsche Factory Manual indicate that removal includes driving the axle out of the swing arm. Must that be done in order to replace just the axles/CVs? It seems that merely removing the bolts at both inboard and outboard flanges should do the job. What am I missing? |

No. There are bolts like what you see on the cv by the trans, on the outer cv.

One thing to take note of, the lock washers are one-time use. It's important to source new lock washers for all CV bolts, make sure the surfaces are clean and dry when reassembling, and torque to spec. |

You may need to lower the control arm on the drivers to clear the starter. Remove the top nut on the shock to drop the trailing arm as needed.

It is my understanding that the CV's are the weak point in the drive train. So this is the mod I am making now until I update the entire drive train sometime in the future. |
