After lots of research on the forum and even a PM to Loren I was looking if some one can help me with a step by step instruction on how to replace a front joint boot on a 996 C4, the last time I worked on it (to change the front dif oil seal) it was very very hard but I'm sure there is a simpler way to do all this stuff... unfortunately I don't have the Porsche technical manual but only the PET, so if anyone have a DIY documentation it would be great to share it there...

Thank you in advance!

what is the front joint boot? I changed my diffs fluid just a few weeks back and didn't have to do anything regarding joints or boots.

If you just changed your diff fluid you should not have to fight with joints or boots... 3 months ago I had to replace the right oil seal of the diff so I had to remove the left joint to change it, the boot instead is on the wheel side and it's the number 13 in the picture..
