Default How to remove 951 rear axle

Here's some innovative products my friend Harri has designed & built.

With this "Rear-axle-carrier-tool" he removed the rear axle from his own 951 in 40 minutes





Here's Harri's 951



He bought some nice undercarriage parts, that's why rear axle had to be took off.

Check out also his "Transmission-carrier-tool"

I imagine what Pete did might also be a quick way of removing parts too.
That's pretty nifty of your friend Olli.

Just have some beer & pizza ready and i send Harri (Neva as we call him) to your place



Of course it would be nice if you can send Helsinki-Dallas-Helsinki first class tickets as well

Here's Neva is working with Tommy's 951 engine



btw. Tommy was chocen (again) last weekend to the post of president of Porsche Club Finland.

Here we are (Pete,Tommy & i) working with Tommy's 951 year ago. Tommy's car is currently at Pete's place under major overhaul. A well known US made turbo sold by a well known 951 shop did not last very long. Pete is going to install a new custom charger made here in Finland. Hopefully it does give a little bit better performance and also last longer.



Here's Tommy in action last summer in Estonia

Thumbs up

Not as slick for removing, but made moving this apparatus around very easy. I did have to remove the brake shields to keep from crushing them.

I use a motorcycle jack also but mine is on wheels and looks a bit different. It has two large flat areas that are great for transmissions and axle carriers.

Leave the tires on, makes it easy to move around and keeps from crushing or damaging valuable parts.
(Yes, I realize the tires are backwards, only slapped on to move the suspension around, photo is 3 years old)

Looks like both your KW shocks are mounted inside out, with the lower mount offset to the inside instead of the outside.

Duke , That is the way they are supposed to be mounted IIRC. I mounted them the other way first and they did not clear something ..


And Anders , this pic is from before they ever got used.
and they have not been used primarily to race police ..... well not that much anyway

Thats how my Bilsteins fit too, offset to the inside. Otherwise they dont clear the cooler loop and I dont think the bolt holes lined up as well.

As long as they fit it's fine
I guess it's because you have shorter springs. My Bilstein's had to be mounted with the offset the other way around to clear the springs from the trailing arm.
That's they way they're usually mounted, because of the longer springs. That's also why the non offsetted shocks needs the adapters.
