Mudman,

I won't do this if I were you. A guy leg got chopped shown on Discovery Channel with similar thing. Think of Safety First my friend.

Not a problem, what you cannot see properly at the top right with the wood topping is the heavy due axle stands which are taking the full weight of the car. I leave the jack in place as insurance.

I have been working on cars since I was 14, safety first is always my top priority and never to rush things.

The Cayenne is a terrific vehicle to service. The frame is so rigid that the entire front may be lifted from one of the side rails. Then the vehicle is lowered onto the jack stands on both sides.

Yes, there are some idiots who are oblivious to the fact that a vehicle should not be serviced when supported only by a jack.

Excuse my ignorance - what is the pin in the lug?

Thanks Michael, Im only at 20k so I have a way to go, did your sensors go off telling you time to change pads?

It's used to guide/support the wheel when you take off the lugs and remove the wheel.

And they are VERY handy, especially with a Cayenne wheel and tire that seems to weigh about 300 lbs... can't remember where I got mine- have sets for Porsche and VW-Audi products. Wouldn't trust the plastic ones that come with some cars...

Maybe in the tool kit under the rear carpet in the hatch area???????? I have 2, one came in the 996 tool kit and one in the Pepper tool kit.

Hey Kevin, yes the sesors went off at about 37k and I just waited until the weather got better, I dont suffer your normal temperatures unfortunately !

The wheel removal aid is in the toolkit.

A second guide bolt, part number 999-571-074-30, for about $10, also helps with the wheel replacement.

I was afraid of that! It would have made getting the snows on that much easier..I guess i need to
