half of me is debating the necessity of replacing the inner arm.

Not being lazy i suppose more an issue of not being tempted to replace something thst looks ok "while im there" and run the risk of tweaking something like the rack which would be a nightmare.

The loosening/tightening torque is relatively low, around 80 Nm.
Tighten with a ratchet instead of the part included

I may grab a clamp that I can tighten with a ratchet instead of the part included with the boot kit, which is one of those sliding ones that grab into barbs on the ring.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all,
Redoing the front suspension 1999 996 carrera 2
Man is that nut to attach the arm in a real tight spot
Before attempting to remove wanted to check here for any recommendations / best practice
Pelican parts has a post suggesting the use of a small plumbers wrench to get in there
Is that as good a recommendation as any or any other ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Be careful not to rush this; first, dry-fit the tool onto the new tie rod to estimate the required depth. Given the size of the tool head, it's sometimes necessary to slightly turn the steering wheel to create more space. Be careful not to apply too much leverage to the end of the rack, as this will put stress on the seals and could lead to leaks later. The loosening/tightening torque is relatively low, around 80 Nm.
Thanks for this
half of me is debating the necessity of replacing the inner arm. Thr join looks real good and the arm holds its position well in the air with the ball joint at the hub end split. May do just the outer arm because that joint is already split and the bushing has dry rot. But the inner arm is so clean - well.protected with that boot i guess.
Car has 40K miles on it.
Not being lazy i suppose more an issue of not being tempted to replace something thst looks ok "while im there" and run the risk of tweaking something like the rack which would be a nightmare.
Replaced one of mine last week after an MOT fail. Full lock the steering and get a 32mm spanner on it. May need to tray a few different angles with the spanner but it comes off easily enough.
If there is no play, don't bother but getting the clip back on the boot is a PITA!
The large inside clip on the boot is indeed a pain

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
