exactly - you are not going to accurately get to 360'#, so jumping on a breaker bar does the trick.

you can do the axles while still in the car, however you have to loosen (not remove) the mid pipes to get at them. note that the cv doesn't always slide off - sometimes it takes quite a bit of oophm to persuade it off (the cv wears a gouge in the splines) which is easier with the axle in a vise. my advice? try with them still in the car; if it doesn''t happen for you then remove them.

one bit thing is to make sure you clean all the grease of the bolts when you thread them into the transmission flanges. they can pick up grease when you slide them through the cv, so give those openings a good clean as well.

Great info Markus.Interesting that the 928 parts bin was raided for the Boxster.
The usual variation in Porsche vs. generic.I found Victor Reinz CV boots for $11 and Porsche for $50.The "GKN" brand is even cheaper.
