Hi,

i did replace the rear cv joint boots. Took me about 3.5 - 4 hours on one side.

Minimum special tools is a torque wrench and you defnitely need a joint head remover.

Also you need somebody to help you when it come to pull in and out the rear axel. Don't do this alone. Needed 3 men. One was pulling the a-arm down (don't know if that is the right technical term), one was pulling the brakes sidewise and one was carefully putting the complete axle in and out.

The aluminum delta plate can also be a little bit frustrating while putting it in. Don't forget to twist the rear sway bar by unmountig the screws at the ends. This definetely helps a lot.

ATF fluid change is no problem. Don't forget to change the ATF filter. And it's very important to have a tool for measuring the ATF level correctly.

I would definetely reccomend to take a look into the Porsche workshop manual before you start and also note all torque values.

Regards
