Phew, just some straining and cussing and the front shocks are done. Just pop out the brake hose clip to have more room, zip off the nut on top with mu impact gun, strain and fight with compressing the old shock, and it rotates right out to slide the dust cover off and then cuss and strain to get the weird nut that holds the shock in place. I have a 3 foot cheater bar, and it comes right off if everything is just level and torque applied in the right angle. Then mop out the oil oil, drop in the new shock, tighten up the new weird nut, put back on the dust cover, and the rubber bushing, compress and cuss and air for the hole, and in it goes. Zip down to "good and tight" with the impact, and put back the brake line clip. Ta Da. Then repeat for the other side.
With a helper it is not bad, by myself, I could never have removed the old weird nuts on the top of the shocks.
I have a wonderful ace in the hole. One of my buddies recently retired after 35 years working at the local Porsche dealership. He has been there done that hundreds of times, and know the tricks and is a great help.
