The one directly above the spring that looks like it has a little tab on it?

And the nut above and to the left of it.

Think about it. The nut is the pivot.

The car is back together...

I didn't loosen the nut above and to the left of it...I expected that Porsche designed it so that it could freely pivot.

So that was a good wasted hour...

How tight should the balance belt be? It seemed WAYY too loose...I didn't wanna mess with it without a tensioning tool though.
