Overhaul / Repair Manuals

[D7N7MASTER]

Hi all,
Is it just me or does my haynes 914 manual leave something to be desired...??? I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but - pick a chapter - have you noticed that there are references to illustrations that don't exist? Is there a more comprehensive 914 repair manual?
Thanks,

The factory manual is more comprehensive. But frankly, it isn't that much better than the Haynes; at least 85% of the info from the factory book is reproduced in Haynes. Including most of the photos, which are direct copies. The factory books cost north of $300. Ouch.

The Lash (or the older printing by Clymer) handbook is a little different but not really better to my eye.

The exploded view diagrams in the Factory manuals are hard to beat. They are reproduced in many places less expensively

Dave, you usually give very good advice but I think that you're dead wrong about the factory manual. It is much more comprehensive than the Haynes and it also includes detailed instructions on how to do bodywork repairs that the Haynes does not have. I'm going to print the bodywork manual out (from my CD) and give it to the body shop that will do my rust repair so that they have no excuses.

Is there a website that I could view to help with how to accomplish a complete front a-arm replacement? I'm waitin' on new parts & only know how I got it apart. I believe I need any torque specs required during reassembly + any experience you could share.
Thanks,
Gary
