Disassembling Front Spring Strut

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2013 Porsche 911, 2012 Porsche 911, 2011 Porsche 911, 2010 Porsche 911, and 2009 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. To prevent damage (deformation), clamp the spring strut in a suitable clamping block (tensioning device for McPherson spring struts). Alternatively, the spring clamp can also be held in a retaining device.
  2. Pre-tension the coil spring using a spring clamp for spring struts Nr.121  until the piston rod is relieved (not generally required as this depends on the installation pretension on the coil spring). The appropriate forks must be inserted into the spring clamp.
  3. Use a socket-wrench insert Nr.187  to loosen the lock nut (securing piston rod to spring strut mount).

    Counter at the piston rod when loosening the nut. Tools required: Brace 9630  or 7-mm Allen key.
