Outstanding.

Buy a batt powered impact wrench and it makes removing all nuts short work.

[@JohnKaufmann]

Nice job man. Thx!

[@KRTLyfe]

Thank you and thank you for watching!

[@mussiehaile7798]

Wow thanks I needed this!

[@SunSandAndSea]

why did you change them out? have wheel shake?

[@KRTLyfe]

I can’t remember to be honest. This was one of the first videos I ever made for RUclips. I think they had play in them and I was hearing a knocking sound when I drove over bumps.

[@jamesgriffith7464]

yea yea thanks !! shop would want crazy labor lol..

[@KRTLyfe]

No doubt!

[@kieronsmith4500]

Could just be the way the video is presented but seems your brake disc are wrong way round!

[@KRTLyfe]

you are right. When I recorded this blog I just got the car and the previous owner was getting it serviced at jiffy lube. Needless to say there was a few things I had to sort out.

[@Christopher28fair]

Thanks - maybe I can do this job. One thing - it just seems annoying to have to get the wheels aligned again... you're marking the bolt, counting the threads... how far off can it be? And how come we can't do the alignment? Such a pain in the ass having to drag it to the shop etc. Anyway thanks...

[@KRTLyfe]

Christopher28fair thank you for watching. I marked mine but it was off enough that I went and had my car aligned immediately. I probably could have gotten away with driving it as it was for a while but I really like my steering wheel and car to track perfectly straight. You actually can align your vehicle your self I’m sure there are vlogs and forums that explain how to do it. I have never attempted it tho. Good luck with it.

Awesome rims what are they? Any info hugely appreciated:) Keep up the good vids!

[@KRTLyfe]

Julian Mariotti first let me say thank you for subscribing to our RUclips channel! We are glad you are enjoying our content!
The wheels are the Victor Equipment Innsbruck. I have had them on my 996 for more than a year now. I personally love them. My city is full of potholes and craters and so far they have held up to daily driving.
I have 18s btw.

[@UncleFjester]

I'm not sure if my tie rods are bad or my struts, but something is making the front fell weird.

[@KRTLyfe]

Uncle Fjester I would check the sway bar links , strut mounts,tie rod ends and lower control arms. When I was repairing mine the sway bar links tie rod ends and lower control arm bushings needed to be replaced.
