this video is how to change centerlock porsche wheels
so it's telling me to make sure to not only grease the the threads on the outside here that go in
but also that conical area where it centers it our castrol grease made just for this purpose
i'm going to put some around the threads to make sure there's plenty on that part
and i'm going to put some on the surface out here make sure that's got a nice coat to it
make sure there's no other dirt or anything else around there it's going to go on real nice
try to get my hands clean so i don't get any goop on the wheels okay now that's all ready
i'm gonna start threading that back in place real careful make sure that's nice and free
time to get the big one out
that locked into place okay that's brace there i'm tightening i am actually going to set this now
i need that to be at 600 newton meters and i've got a three to one
input to output and vice versa so that means i need to do 200 newton meters on this thing
and then we've got a little bit of loss in it so if i do and this says you might have 10 to
20 percent torque loss which is quite a bit so you know we don't want to overdo it we don't
want to come loose so let's say if we go 10 would be 220 and so there's 237 maybe we go to
so there's where the torque is now the manual says you back it off a quarter turn
and then re-tighten it to that same thing okay and a quarter turn on this means
it's got to go from here there's the quarter turn okay and that should be it first when i saw these
exposed splines on all four wheels i was a little bit concerned because unlocked wheels i checked
that piece that safety bolt or whatever you call it
was all the way out to the edge so i was concerned was there something wrong with the wheel
turns out you just have to kind of twist and wiggle that thing until it springs out
so you actually want it to look like this see how that comes all the way out
that's the way you want you don't want to drive the car until you get all those all the way out
to the edge of the splines all i'm doing is taking a half inch driver with a little extension on it
i'm just going to put a piece of masking tape on the outside of it so it doesn't
necessarily scratch anything now see how it's stuck in there a little bit
you just kind of
rotate just kind of mess with it a little bit
and there you go it's all the way out i got all of them to spring out except this last one and so i
took the wheel off again and this thing was and it goes in and out but you could see it look kind of
grungy in there so i tried some aerocroil it loosened it up a little bit it wanted to work
but it wasn't rotating so this piece needs to rotate a little bit you can see it's i finally
got a broke loose but it's still not great but that rotation here is what allows it to rotate
when you're jiggling the the end of it to fit in the center cap so since this was kind of froze up
it wasn't able to do that so i can get it out and it does look like there's some rust on it so i'm
going to clean all this gunk off inside there too and get it to where it's moving smooth and then i
should be okay okay now that i've cleaned the big chunks off there's still some discoloration but
it's you know the chunks are off it's smooth again i got in there and i cleaned all that junk
out of there the rust and stuff got it cleaned up good i'm going to put just a little bit of
i think i don't want to put too much lubrication in here because i don't want it to attract dust
even though it should be tight in here but um i'm going to put just a little bit of three in
one oil around where that piece goes in see how it rotates freely now that's the way it should have
been but now that it's clean it does again now i'm going to clean that center cap well again grease
the cone and those threads and put it all back together so you'll just do this for all four sides
then you take your center cap line that tab up with that groove so the bottom of the crest
is where that lip is where you would put your tool
so that's where your tool goes you're going to put the bottom of the crest right up against that
and just press it in get sealed see there's where your tool would go right there the bottom point
that looks really sweet actually the black gloss wheels with the body that looks good
very happy with how them came out the other rear wheel has been installed in the same way
before i do the front wheels i moved my two pieces of wood and knocked them in underneath the rear
tire both sides they hold that still i believe the parking brake only works on the rear wheels
so to do the front wheels i'm going to have to brace the wheels with the front brake pedal now i
have the spreader across the bottom from the brake pedal to the seat with the blanket to make sure i
don't scuff the seats or anything and now go ahead and start doing my change without the brake pedal
this wheel tire will spin on you when you try to tighten or loosen so you do have to do that
don't skip it do the spreader or find somebody to help you the other thing you have to worry about
in the front ones is these tires can turn modern cars don't have a steering lock like the old ones
so they can turn on you which means you have to be very careful and keep everything straight and
aligned unless you have somebody to sit in the driver's seat and hold the wheel for you
otherwise same kind of process again i'm going to first just get up broke loose
on the ground and jack it up and go through the normal procedure i've already got the cap off
again lining that bolt with the hole in the jack point for the manual
take the old wheel off slip the new one on remove the guidance
grease the threads and the conical area all right center caps all greased
start tightening the wheel
take our little hub and put the point down to where that gap is
i love the way these look that wasn't actually that terrible of the job
the only thing i've left to do is go to pull the brake thing off i'll pull the brake out now
we go
get the brake spreader out that worked well
the last thing to check is to make sure that the tire pressure sensors are working properly
turn the car on
let's switch the menu to the
oh there we go uh-oh all right so i got all zeros but maybe it needs a minute to calibrate
i wonder if i have to go dry but before that will come on
drove around for a couple minutes started seeing numbers came back filled it up took it out 10-15
minutes seems to be taught everything looks really good i assume if i turn it back on it'll be okay
okay looks like everything's solid so that job's complete
and there's the final product the black wheels definitely match the body of the car better they
give it a kind of a darker more menacing look i to me it's a much better design it's nice and simple
it's not as busy as the old ones it's just five two member spokes on it
and it just really makes the car look better to me plus now it matches its roommate subscribe
