5/9/2014 RoW M030 Sport Suspension Install - Carrera (996) - Mods - 996 (Carrera) - DIY - Tutorials - RennTech.org Forums Front strut disassembly and assembly: 1. Apply spring compressors to both sides and compress the spring a ½ inch or so. This may be difficult to do as the front springs are conical shaped, but will ensure that the nut on top is easily removed. 2. Remove the 21 mm nut on top of the strut. (item 1 in picture below) Counter the piston rod when loosening the nut. 3. Pay attention to how it comes apart. 4. Put all the necessary parts on the new strut (Y ou will be re-using the old rubber bump stop so don’t throw them out) and assemble back wards. 5. The new springs are shorter so the assembly will not have as much tension. 6. Tighten the fastening nut to 59 ftlb. 7 . Install the new strut in the reverse as described above and use the sheet below for torque values: Cross member/side member (one component) Location T hread T ightening torque [Nm] (ftlb.)
