For future reference *for anyone* - To remove things like an axle nut with a beefy impact, it's important an IMPACT rated socket is used, not just because of safety but because an impact socket has more material to hammer against. While rust might have made it a bit tougher, the socket you use can make quite the difference when removing.

[@EVoMVP]

Not only an impact socket, but depending on torque ratings definitely use a weighted impact socket, commonly used on crankshaft bolts but useful on anything high torque.

[@Timbo1969]

Those extra long studs gotta go..lol

[@MVO66]

For real they are terrible-looking.

[@MVO66]

Those wheels are all a mess.

[@Cursirr]

They’re studs not lugs and they help with having to run spacers or specific wheels for the track and it definitely makes it easier to get the wheels on and off. Longer lugs would actually help cover the studs from sticking out and most aftermarket wheels do take up the space even without a spacer.

[@Timbo1969]

[@Stefan020]

Yeah they have to go

[@TomLichti]

Use a 50/50 mix of acetone and atf for rusted nuts, it works for me every time. Project Farm approved.

[@BigBisalreadytaken]

Hagel's brew... good stuff that you can make for pennies.

[@naterater2330]

that is beyond impressive that Porsche couldn't find anything. Hats off to your attention to detail!

I work over at that dealer, loved seeing the car roll around the lot its beautiful!

Small world, that's awesome!

The cut away to the fire in the garage report was hilarious!😂😂😂😂😂

I would agree, but I'm not going to bother because I'm selling it.

[@Jb995k]

Bro...I think you need to keep both. I always hated the 996 but DAMN! 🔥

[@joepaquette7435]

You've definitely got me sold on a pair of the quick jacks. So sick of the floor jack ops. Keep up the great work, we enjoy the content!

[@matt13ross]

Thanks! Those are the absolute best option for a small garage like mine.

[@djhuska]

😂 That added news clip about the garage fire 🔥 cracked me up! Great videos!

[@paulmeier8772]

shame to see the 996 go! but understandable from your point of view. again plenty of fixes. i love this channel so much lol

[@marksmotorcycle375]

That report just goes to show you did a great job rebuilding the 996 Matt.

[@TonyBrand-w3l]

Hey Mat, All your hard work has paid off......that 996 looks stunning in yellow & sounds great too! 👍🔥🔥👍

[@keithvolner930]

lol I love when you say torque to spec, I think about that all the time now when I put on bolts

[@timmyayers318]

that's alright we wont judge just bring it by to ayers auto spa if you are ever in Texas

[@cristmh]

Great testament to your skill and dedication Matt that the PPI came out so clean.

[@ryan962]

Incredible nicely done!

[@1jbunceiii]

I had Porsche do a ppi on a macan I bought from carvana, I was very impressed with their thoroughness, I would recommend it to everyone.

[@charha01]

Nice job on the build especially since Porsche would love to find something really expensive for you to fix. The keyfob could be just a programming thing, but from what I know, that can only be done at a Porsche dealership and will cost you about $300 to $500 and consists of them plugging in their "special" device and spending about 10 minutes working on your car. I did it for mine because I only had one key and that didn't help me sleep at night.

[@K1dPhresh1]

Validation!!! Congrats, Matt! I guess you have a buyer if you’re doing a PPI.

[@BigBisalreadytaken]

That's a dang good PPI report! Kudos!

[@matt13ross]

Thank you!

[@jonathanzumwalt4392]

You need a 996tt vs 997tt comparison video before the sale!

[@bandwagon240]

The heat could be debris in the ducts/debris in the heat exchanger itself. Not on the inside, just the radiator portion of it. It's a pretty common issue with older cars and cars that are parked under trees for a long time.

[@matt13ross]

Idk it seems PLENTY hot to me lol

[@shayne1289]

I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but Euro cars are super sensitive to voltage drops (from a failing battery). Do yourself a huge favour and get a battery tender/trickle charger. Leave it on charge when the car's in the garage. Never have a flat battery, and it should extend the battery life. Your car, and your sanity, will thank you for it...

[@matt13ross]

I do have a trickle charger but sometimes have it on other vehicles.

[@shayne1289]

Heat is probably the ol blend door issue everybody has.

[@neallandsburgh4222]

Was just going to say the same thing!

[@calebappleby2375]

Just started watching your channel. Are you near Lancaster PA? That Porsche dealer looked a lot like the one along rt30

[@mahdialsenussi3066]

Good news and nice work 👍🏼🔥

[@matt13ross]

Thanks!

[@deimosphob]

Use an impact socket next time and it should work wonders. If even that doesn't work, wax and heat is the best penetrant, Id only use pb blaster and other penetrants on heat sensitive parts that you can't melt the wax with. Even a crayon work and it cleans up a lot easier than petroleum products IMO. Machine shops love wax for penetrants, always keep a spare crayon on me.

[@matt13ross]

I don't have an impact socket that size, hence the chromey

[@tomburns890]

Hey Matt what type of cleaner did u use in your last video to clean your new exhaust to get all your finger prints off. Thx

[@jamest5149]

A mid height car lift would he a good addition to your garage, would mean accessing under your vehicles would be easier.

[@kainc7136]

Degrees the condenser anything with a fin. More air flow more horsepower 😊

[@ericreese4606]

Sounds like you got an ‘A’ on your test! Great work sir. :-)

[@Darodajd15]

I am sad to see your house burn down must have lost the car to the fire too. Best wishes with the insurance recovery. I obviously stopped at this point looking i didn't want to see all the burn down porsche's it's too sad😮

[@stevenmadias]

Use an impact socket for those axle bolts

I don't have one that big.

Matt, do a Giveaway on the 996 with some shirt/merch sales, it seems to work for every other youtuber. I bet a ton of people would buy a shirt for that car!

[@matt13ross]

I would lose a LOT of money lol

[@ideabrickworks9043]

I need to do the front axles on my 2003 C4S, which are the same as the turbo. I want to torque the front bolts. You just used your impact gun?

Yup lol. It's never failed me before, never had an axle nut back out.

[@odie0815]

frist heating the axle nut for a longer time (at least it looks like that as depicted in the video) - then reusing and tightening them with the impact? pleas do no do this stuff again the heat if to much is introduced (and that can happen dast with those blow torches) can easily damage the seals on the wheel berings and the tightening torque of the axle nut sets the preload of the wheel bearing - to low or to high preload can wear out the wheel bearing prematurely
