You will need a large breaker bar and either a 32 or 36mm socket (i can't recall which it is at the moment). The wheel nut is torqued to about 400ft/lbs, so it will take some work to break it loose. You will need to drop the belly pan, and crossmember on that side, and possibly the catalytic converter as well.

Hey Porsche Dockta, && All you GR8 PORSCHE enthusiasts!

Thanks for your support !! I got an new axel on the internet for under 500
and I whimped out of fixing her myself. I have a GR 8 mechanic that does all kinds of cars and first was paranoid that he wasn't super knowledgeable on
Porsches' but he did it and only hit me for 250.. SO my Boxster is a bouncing again YYY'ALLL ROCK && THANX +++++ FOR THE SUPPORT
Don't be driving your boxster like a Chevy Cavalier now after reading this.!!
Hit the pedal and have ----- FUN
