How to Replace a Hood Strut FAST! (Porsche 996 Turbo)

Hi Everyone, The hood (bonnet) struts on the 996TT have been failing and getting to the point that, when cold, will clock you on your noggin! Not fun… In this episode I go through the super easy process of replacing them. Works on porsche 996/986 911/Boxster The pair isn’t expensive and total time is less than 10min! Tools and parts: • Porsche 986 996 Front Hood Strut (set 2) OEM Stabilus https://goo.gl/6gC4uX • Small screwdriver • Hood Prop • Cleaning rag • Dab of grease. • Safety glasses Most modern cars are similar - just hunt down the correct struts and you are all set! Older Porsches are similar, but you have to remove and replace a pin instead of ball joints. We hope you enjoyed the video.
