Thank you very much CJ,I really appreciate.
Ok,already mailed Chris,let's see if I have to follow FDM way
(in their site they rate 103$,but I think is only for the urethane part,not the installation,
so I'd have to do the job anyway)
I heard that sometime you to be careful with the tightening or do a little run to settle the suspension and than tight again,or disconnect the brake lines ecc…

are this thing necessary?

just an up date

I installed the pss10 with a great pleasure....

and extra parts (during the installation,I decided to change a lot of other things to make my P as shine as I could).

I'd like to thanks everyone helped....

firesm, what's the chance of you posting a pic of your modified socket?

that's for you

Walrod bushings - you don't need a press.. I think I just used a clamp to push them in. Getting the old ones out is more of a workout, but a hacksaw on one side and chisel on the other and they come right out. I need to buy another 993 to document all my learning's.

Quick note -- check that it really is a 21mm socket you need. Mine are 22mm and I have seen a few other people mention the same.

I bought a 7/8" oxygen sensor socket from Pep Boys (<$10?) and it worked perfectly for this task. Many thanks to the employee there that suggested it.

I think the advantage of having a half-open socket is that you can apply the correct torque at the end of the job - whereas with the socket with the allen key throught the top method you can't torque it?

I made a 21mm and 22mm half open sockets using a Dremel and some cheap carparts store sockets. I used at least 30 Dremel metal cutting disks - as it turns out, even cheap sockets are very very hard.

Oh, and definitely wear long sleeves and safety glasses if you do the Dremel thing. And don't touch the socket straight after you've been cutting it - hot! (ask me how I know....)

your wish is my command....

Just use an impact to remove the old ones. No need to make two of the fancy sockets, or for a spring compressor.

SchnellAuto

ed,

the porsche shop manual. said not use impact..but for loosening ..yup...it was easier..the 22 mm was needed though..to tighten the bilstien...i think the 22 is more important..

Yes, but I don't know many reusing the old shocks, and I really don't see what harm it does. Mine spun so quick when hit with the impact, there could not have been any damage to the old shock. I don't use the method for installing new. I modded a socket with a Dremel.

The shop manual says lots of things. In the field, however..............

(Where would Porsche be, but for the ingenuity of Californians over the decades?)
