These vids are still so helpful

Mr. Svenson, thankyou so much for your videos. Truly.

[@gcthreee]

Well done. I have the same hub on my 928, and this was helpful see how it all came together.

[@HornungMoeller]

This is a fantastic video. Thank you very much. Better than mechanics-school!

[@fredhandrix]

Excellent tutorial and comments. Thank you for sharing !

[@skwerldeath]

Nice vid! I love the kid raising Hell while you're trying to work... I've always used grease on the races as I drive them in, but apparently it isn't necessary. I have found that a bit of grease on the inside of the seal, next to the spring, can keep the spring in place as you hammer it in. I've seen them jump out sometimes.

Thank you for the info! 🙏

I have a 944 S2. Where the cv axel connects to the wheel one of the bolts are stripped and will not tighten all the way. Will I be able to replace that part with the part from the base model. I forgot what it was called, the hub maybe?

[@vsvenson]

I think you'll need to replace it with an '87+ turbo (or S2) stub axle - but I'm not 100% positive.

Hi Van, I don't have access to a blow torch, would putting the hubs in the oven work as well?

[@vsvenson]

Absolutely. Or you could even heat them up on a hotplate.

[@TtimWh]

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!

[@777warhero]

will this work for an 86 base model

[@nsashby]

Thanks. Very helpful

[@MayhemIncLV]

Great video! Nice watch!'

[@lateboy4]

is this from a car or van?

[@shiroitake]

odd question but what size is your vice?

[@vsvenson]

I believe it's an 8".

[@humantribe]

Thank you for the informative video. I'm liking the shirt...where did you get it?

[@vsvenson]

humantribe My wife gave it to me as a present... She typically gets things like that on Ebay or Etsy.

Does anybody know the bearings size for 944 front and rear wheels? And seal type? P.S. Van, good day! I'm starting to rebuild my late 85 porsche 944. Your resource is a HUGE help. I'm in love with your simple yet very systematic approach. THANK YOU! Greeting from Moscow!

[@vsvenson]

Early offset cars (through '86) have different size front bearings and seals than the late offset cars ('87 and later). The rear wheel bearings are different for the steel control arms and the aluminum control arms (change over in mid '85). Looks on a website like Pelican or Paragon to find the actual sizes.

@lateboy4 its a porsche 944

You should use wheel bearing grease, not "multi-purpose" "chassis" grease.
