Have you ever seen in a VR4? The only hinderance would be unfamiliarity. As long as i can get the parts i can do it. I just need to know what parts i'm gonna need. I have plenty of experience on all types of cars being that i was an an automotive trade school for 3 years. We just never got any Porsches. It all seems simple enough. The main thing was i wasnt sure if they were all supposed to be together or not like some sealed bearings.

I guess i'll just order all of the pieces once i clean it all out and see that nothing is damaged. I found some stub axles for sale which i am just gonna buy along with all new bearings and seals. I don't think that the nut was tightened all the way down, because i was able to get it off with just a breaker bar, no jack or impact gun. I didnt replace the axles on there now. When i bought it the guy said they were new. He narrowed it down to needing a new trans. I guess he was just replacing piece by piece. The noise was making was definately a bearing and not pinion.

I didnt look at the bolts too closely, but i figured they were torx. I have never head of a serrated bit so im glad you told me that. I do have the haynes manual. The owner gave it to me when i bought the car. I haven't looked at it yet, but i will later tonight.

Would you all reccomend replacing anything else while i have it all apart? Maybe springs or shocks? I as wondering if there were any worthwhile suspension upgrades for these cars. I plan on running Carrera wheels with 215 50zr17 in the front and 255 40zr17 in the rear. Would this be a good set up? I don't know much about suspension.

Mainly i learned R&R, and picked up some turbocharged performance experience, but still i do not know hardley anything of making a good road/race car. I don't plan on making this a race car, but if i do have to replace something i would like to replace it with a performance part. What would you reccomend for suspension?
