Bently says I have to pull the track rod (with that "tie rod end" looking thingy on the end), and remove that long aluminum flat bar piece, which the pet calls a "strut".
I am worried about two things.
1) I dont want to chew up that tie rod end looking thingy by using my tie rod fork, and I dont have the special porsche tool to remove this. If the wheel carrier were steel, I would get out the BFH, and lay one good blow where the track rod attaches, But I am a bit afraid of that aluminum carrier. Any suggestion on how to remove # 17 from # 1 without damage.
2) If I remove this long aluminum strut, do I need to re-align the rear suspension. Unfortunaly I just had a four wheel alignment at the dealer, They aparently did not notice that the CV boot was bad. Must have done the alignment with their eyes closed.
The strut is # 1 in the pic.
