Experimented with using studs/nuts for the outer CV joints. Made installation a lot nicer and way less grease getting on things. Torquing is easy and there's no need to pick grime out of the bolts.

Bought one! Just picked up an '87 924S to be my winter car while the 986 gets (mostly) put away for the winter. Needs a few little things, but clutch is new and water pump/belts are pretty recent.

Rescued the 951 from where it died last night about a mile south of the Wyoming border (in the middle of freaking nowhere) after the bolts backed out of one cv joint while doing 90mph on the highway... Car was still there this morning, and about 15-20 minutes to get it reassembled on the side of the highway, then limped it 85 miles or so back home...

Time to replace the cv bolts, and the boots while I'm at it...

Glad you did, Kirk. And welcome to the forums. Hope you'll keep us up to date with what ever you do to it.

One step forward two steps back. Realized that I never gapped my speed reference sensor while the engine was out of the car, so now I get to play contortionist getting at the bolts.

Nice looking job, Michael..Clincher nuts on the studs?? or blue locktite? I haven't gotten that far on mine..work keeps getting in the way...Got the rear end passenger side put together, now for the driver's side of the bearing/spacer job..Perhaps this week??

was it the fuel lines over the hot side?

They're just ordinary nuts, but Class 10 and a dot of loctite. I figured a locknut would probably screw the stud deeper in at the other side in the stub axles. They're torqued to 33 ft-lbs like OEM, being 12.9 studs. That's maximum tensile stretch and should be sufficient to keep them from coming loose (like our cylinder head nuts).

I wish, that would have been an easy fix. Motor was out for a clutch and reseal and I guess somehow I filled the heat shield on one exhaust manifold runner with oil, cause it smoked like crazy then hit flash point. Now I gotta drill a hole to drain it and hopefully get the oil out of the heat shield and what ever else is in there
