Hey just want to say thank you for the video. I have a 2004 boxster S. You're almost at a 1000 subs...keep posting,you're almost there.

[@nickgiles355]

Glad to help

[@martingregory5955]

So glad I now live in NZ as none of that corrosion to deal with. Just changed my coffin arms and tuning forks and all came apart so easy. Even putting ball joints back didn't even need pretension to hold them in place

[@Stumpy77]

Excellent stuff Nick. Did you do the follow up video where you remove the coffin and trailing arm bolts? I hear it's these that can be problematic too?

[@huwjones5879]

Impressed by the lack of corrosion on the strut and drop link. Mine had been in place 23yrs and had corroded into one solid piece. Far more effort required to get it apart. Liberal application of anti-seize on reassembly!

Excellent insights and instructions!

GREAT Video Nick my only suggestion is to soak all the nuts the day before with Plus Gas - Just makes it easier And dont forget to get the springs against the stops before releasing the Spring Compressors Keep em coming

Great video, I just subscribed. Have bought an early Boxster and plan to do this myself.

Excellent video Nick - thanks so much for sharing.

[@Henders72]

Superb, thanks Nick.

[@danielrengifo7022]

Can you show a video of you putting the new parts in?

[@kieronsmith4500]

Another great video, thank you for sharing 👍

[@nickgiles355]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@scoobydooz6575]

nice instructional vid, one question, can the drive shaft be removed with the exhaust in place?

[@nickgiles355]

Yes but it is fiddly. Easier if you pop the bottom ball joint out then you can pull it out much easier

[@NickLantzy]

Hey Nick, I bought a ball joint splitter like the one in this video but it is too thick and does not fit like yours does. Is there some trick or different tool I should be using?

[@DrewAnLee]

hey hi, where did you get the ball joint tools? or the size? many thanks bro

[@nickgiles355]

Draper tool. It's the middle size of 3 they offer. Cost around £15 uk
