Great video, some money saved vs dealer cost, all good!

[@davisvargas569]

great video, well explained.any video about power steering of the macan?

[@hansgarage1751]

@@davisvargas569 unfortunately no. That Macan left with my x wife.

[@alexkaka7197]

You explained a lot better than most of the techs on the YT

[@hansgarage1751]

Thanks!

I got new axles from Amazon $90 each. Look and seem exactly like the OEM!! 19mm hex socket $14 had to get steering knuckle drift kit $32 to get the shoulder bolt out. THAT was a nightmare so $250 total for both axles!

[@hansgarage1751]

That's a smoking deal!

[@kylequinn7760]

😊Very helpful reference for Axle work on the Macan. So much easier to remove the top ball joints than messing with the heat shields to get the axle out. Thanks for recording and posting.

[@hansgarage1751]

Glad it helped!

Great video, saving money, doing hands on and learning while you do it makes having great cars ...even better.

[@hansgarage1751]

Very true! Thanks for watching!

[@scubajumper]

Shoulder bolt is a nighmare to get out! Used an air hammer and had to heat the bracket to help loosen

[@hansgarage1751]

The torque spec is ridiculous.

[@scubajumper]

@@hansgarage1751 the nut was easy the bolt has no torque just straight through but I cannot get it off! Air hammer, torche etc. I can only get it maybe 1/2 out

Right on the money 🤌

My boot just split too, great video!

[@hansgarage1751]

Thanks Samm!

Appreciate your diy videos on the Macan as not many videos out there exist. 🏆

[@hansgarage1751]

Thanks! We'll add more each time we repair.

thanks. good video

[@hansgarage1751]

Thanks Peter!

Thanks… Good video. There are more similarities between the Audi Q5/SQ5 B8 and the 2016 Macan, than it would be between the Macan and the Cayenne. You probably find a lot of videos related to Audi Q5/SQ5 out there. Most likely axle shaft are exactly the same between Macan and Q5/SQ5 B8. For example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmbCq2iMfbmKgpI Also, for center bolt, always use a new one because is torqued to yield. The torque is actually 200Nm (148 lb-ft) + 180 degrees final tightening. Got those specs from manual. You can watch my bearing replacement videos… I used a torque multiplier wrench: Front Wheels Bearing Replacement - 2015 Porsche Macan S kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4mohWdqi96FiKc

Excellent note. Thank you!

@@hansgarage1751 Thanks for doing this! I’m going to use it as reference if I ever need to change mine..

[@eddyjawed]

what is the correct term used for those 'triple square bolts'?

[@hansgarage1751]

I think that is correct. Here's a quote from Google "Triple square drives are used in high torque applications, such as cylinder head bolts and drive train components. Triple square fasteners are commonly found on German vehicles such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, and Volkswagen."

[@scubajumper]

triple square is the corre3ct term but some call them 12 point!

[@eddyjawed]

I just had my axle ruined by a dodgy cv boot replacement. I think i'm better replacing entire drive shaft

[@hansgarage1751]

That's unfortunate.
