@@RestorationApprentice For sure! I have worked on many cars for fun projects and my favorite noise is the 'DING' sound when a stuck part finally comes loose ^_^
Great job! Love that you are tackling hard stuff. One thing to think about for all of the pieces that you are taking out is to look into dry ice blasting to clean parts up. That is amazing technology and removes all dirt, but no material.
Thank you, Jeff! I've seen that on TH-cam, looks amazing... But I don't think that service is available where I live. I'm currently building big blasting cabinet so I can fit all these parts in.
thanks for video have a 77na..and also a 931...know i have to do those o.e. rear bushings...oh and for of you who dont have impact for that axel nut can use same tool vw use its a flat cast plate hex cut into it and flange made to be hit with sledge cost ten to twenty dollars or if luck out auto swapmeet a buck
Odd as it sounds, if memory serves me well, the wheel spacers are a factory item on the rear of these and 944's of early offset. If you change the wheels for different offsets, then it's up to yourself if you plan to keep the spacer
@@RestorationApprentice I'm doing up an 85.5 944 myself currently, so found that out while trying to find information about the rear end setup. It may be worth a look through a parts catalogue to confirm for the 924s, but 944 was a definite
Well done, that’s a big heavy lump to get out on your own. What condition are the two sets of rubber mounts in? Mine were completely shot, and unfortunately replacements are expensive! Good progress :)
Thank you! It was properly stuck too. I naively thought once I get all bolts out it will just drop. I was levering it out for over an hour. Rubbers look decent at the first glance, once I get dismanteling I'll see how bad they are. Hopefully just some rubber conditioner. Looks like rear suspension overall will be much more expensive that the front.
As you can see I used an impact wrench one mine, but you can do it with a bit of heat and a breaker bar, or a large pipe on your wrench. If everything else fails you can always cut the nut of but be careful not to damage the threads. Good luck!
@@RestorationApprentice thanks, going to get a big enough bit for the impact need to drop tranny and clean fuel tank putting in new fuel distributor dont want bad fuel going through

How would you recommend getting that bolt on the rear drums off my brakes dont work
