3:30 saw another one where someone used a puller to separate the ball joint. It appeared that it didn't leave any marks on the arm.

Thanks very much for this! My roof opened normally then would not close. Read manual, tool was missing to jack up clamshell, but more importantly, there was no screw holding the potentiometer onto the shaft. ......gone. With your video , I identified that there was supposed to be a left handed screw in the shaft. I have ordered the kit thanks to your help, and hopefully will get screw in there and see if I can open clamshell with hex head wrench. Dont know if motor is good, or really what the problem is at this point, it seems the clamshell is latched in the center back preventing opening. of course with the roof open there is no access, even the motor you describe is difficult to get at. Will look today to see if I can remove motor with the clamshell closed. Also that locking mechanism on the shaft is interesting., but without screw holding pot in place it is impossible to access shaft to turn.

Thanks!!!! Soooo much help!!!!!

you can take off the nut by leaving it in the transmission. then take the motor out

No talk of the actual door module?

When I took my front wheel bearings off the spindle I noticed there was some thin oil in there, still really clean it kinda looked like motor oil, I didn't know if I needed to oil the inside again with the new bearings, do I need to oil them?

SUPER TIMELY! Thank you for sharing your wisdom! Also , you are correct the info you shared is nowhere on the internet or Porsche boards (Rennlist, etc)

Gracias Dave, la verdad que fue de mucha ayuda este video, realmente lo agradezco, saludos

what about the screen itself at the top?

“I have no idea what I’m doing and I’m gonna teach you”

Very helpful. Im getting ready to my 89 Vette.. Thanks for the video

It's one year younger than me, loved it when she came to life.

Dave, I think it should be manditory that prior to anyone being alowed to post an instructional video to youtube they need to watch yours!!! Thank you for taking the time to explain everything so perfectly!!

THANKS sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏

It would have been better to driller the rivets, out why the ball joint was still in place...

My black inner door skin is riveted its an 04 s model I guess they need drilled out?

Dave: How did it ride after the installation?

Use a magnet to pick up the shavings on top before you start hammering on things, no brainer!

Why would u let ur brack caliper hang like that that's not good at all

Very helpful. Your video should help me ave a few clips when I remove the outer trim and now I’m confident I can pull the doors to paint.

Thank you very, very much 🙏 you have talent in explaining 👌

If you going to do a video it is really helpful to do it from the beginning to show all the steps..

Very good Vid however hope I never have to do this.

Excellent video, thanks very much

Ok that's cool. But what about the cable thats connected on the door handle, how do you take it off?

Fantastic video, heaps of information, one question, at the end, did you drill the rivets holding the door lock/latch mechanism before removing the window frame? And if so, did you just rivet, or nut rivet, the latch mechanism back? Or are you able to get it out as one piece not removing any pop rivet. Other videos shows drilling the rivets and then upon assembly putting in nut-rivets so you can just bolt it it where the rivets used to be

What drill small and use a punch

Many thanks. Changed my silver door handles to black in about 20 minutes thanks to this video.

Man! You are a super master! Very, very, very, very helpful with my videos!

extremely helpful in dealing with my Touareg

How did you remove the track? I used an allen wrench through the hole but I don't see how that becomes disattached.

Slightly cleaner/easier method. Do what you say about grinding/drilling the rivets on the top (backplate of ball joint). Get ball joint off. Grind the rivets flush to both sides of the a-arm. Youll notice the bottom has a larger diameter. This is because the bottom of the rivets is tapered. Take a center punch and hammer, get the a-arm on a solid surface and hammer down on the smaller diameter end (NOT the tapered end of the rivets). I've done numerous this way and provides the best results. Its extremely hard to keep a drill centered on the rivets; it will inevitably walk and start chewing into the aluminum of the a-arm.

I was wondering: Could the steel rivets be pressed out with the ball joint press? Hmmm...

What is torque specifications for the bolts (and nuts) attaching the upper ball joint? I'm very confused about torque specifications on those bolts. How many Ft-lbs did you use? In Haynes Manual it says: "Tighten the bolts to the torque specified in the new balljoint instruction sheet". Mine doesn't have any instruction sheet. I found statement on one forum "The instructions supplied with my MOOG upper ball joints stated 12-14 ft.-lbs for the bolts and nuts." My suspension kit is not MOOG, it is OCPTY - New 8-Piece fit for 1995-2005 for Chevrolet Cavalier - 2 Front Lower Ball Joint 2 Sway Bar 2 Outer 2 Inner Tie Rod End. In one film (but it was a Chevy truck) the author applied 50 Ft-lbs. My car is 2003 Chevy Cavalier, just one control arm. Thank you for the informative film.

I think you have made my day sir!!! The door latch replacement came to a screeching halt when we could not actually remove the latch assembly because “something” was holding it. Our first thought was the key lock piece that attaches to the latch mechanism, but I now see the small cable sandwiched between the key lock and the door handle. Looks like we have the disassembly figured, the reassembly looks like “fun” too. BTW the door is still on the car!

one of the best tutoriel good work sir.

Talk about doing things the hard way! Use a 4 1/2" angle grinder and you'll go right through those rivets in a few seconds.

Great video Dave , very informative thanks for your time.

best ball joint repair video ever!!! LMAO

This video is golden!!!

Pas compris

Hello, I just saw the new video notes on the Pearson web site. I found the new video notes very helpful. Will you add the more for the rest of the chapters soon? Thank you.
