Porsche 911 912 Front Strut Replacement DIY Project | Classic Porsche 911 912 Boge Longhood

In this video I replace Porsche 911 912 front sturts with new replacement KONI inserts in my 1967 Porsche 912 Project Car. This is a classic Porsche DIY Project. This video covers Porsche 911 912 from 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 Long hood short wheelbase cars. I go through the steps to remove your old original Boge sturts and replace them with new KONI strut inserts. You'll even learn what to do if you have to use the more affordable KYB struts for your Porsche 911 or 912 car.
My 1967 Porsche 912 coupe is unique, instead of the original Porsche 616 motor (the same motor found in the Porsche 356 model), I put in a 1976 Porsche 912E VW Type 4 motor. The VW Type 4 motor will mount to the stock Porsche 901 transmission, the only issues I had was the engine tin and motor mount.

Hey Brian, love your comment on old parts. It’s true, we are loath to get rid of stuff. I still have bent decos and trim pieces and engine cylinders kicking around for my 68. They are of no use anymore of course.

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Not sure if this is issue is curable but I don't mind living with old Porsche parts LOL, thanks for watching Andrew!

All it takes is one time when a hoarded part came in handy to reinforce the illness.

[@Bikeaddict4235]

Great video gonna do mine in the coming weeks.
Ps you had the stillsons the wrong way around.

[@ArrowheadGarage]

The stillsons?

[@Bikeaddict4235]

Pipe wrench

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

How did you torque the gland nut?

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Couldn't find a true way...but just made sure they were down tight.

[@giuseppecicoria573]

Where is the link for the tools ?

[@atate9811]

@@ArrowheadGarage Front Right Strut. Should I disconnect and take the entire front strut housing out? I put the top nut back on, clamped with vice grip and have been whacking upwards nothing yet, put in Seafoam penetrating oil 24 hours ago too..

[@atate9811]

French Market is me too

[@atate9811]

Got it Drilled hole at bottom and drained the oil creating a suction.

[@addvancedgarage]

I don't understand the loctite on that gland nut; that thing is going nowhere.

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Just a little insurance was my thoughts...

[@TheSnowdolphin]

No way the top bushing comes out that easily.

[@ArrowheadGarage]

For me and this 1967 they came out just like that!

@@ArrowheadGarage Mine came out pretty easy too.
