Rear shocks............
Have a 75 911S. Do I have to do anything special to take off the rear shocks? Can I just jack up the wheel and unbolt it? Is the shock under stres when the wheel is unbolted? I dont wanna kill myself or anything.............

A nut and a bolt, Nothing special to it.
But I wouldn't set my head under the rotor when you take that last bolt off.

I put a jack under the rear shock to release the pressure on it when I removed the top nut on the shock. Remember to use two wrenches on the top of the shock. Put copper anti-seize on the lower bolts when you put them back on. I replaced my bolts and nuts when I replaced my rear shocks last summer.

Replaced your nuts? What does that have to do with it? Also, I was so looking forward to placing my head under the rotor while I unbolted the shock. Darn!
LOL, OK, thanks for the help guys! Just poking a little fun..............

Hey Kelly: I have #1073...Grand Prix White...Targa....VERY happy with it...feels lighter & more spunky then the two SC's I've had. I bought the book "101 Projects for your 911"....it's full of great stuff for us do-it-yourselfers...including how to change your rear shocks (or your front struts if you desire)...check it out, it's worth the $ because it will pay for itself the first time you use it, instead of a $100/hour mechanic.......
