DIY front wheel bearing replacement 996 tt,c4,GT2

Now let me say that this job was quite straightfoward, BUT I would suggest that you have a bit of experience in bearing fittting as well as presswork or you may really mess things up in a big way.

Hello, I have a 2002 996 Targa and get a very loud grinding noise coming from the fron the car when I turn left or right while giving it gas in turns, but when I turn through corners and do no give it gas their in no noise! Also if I accelerate hard from a standstill it also makes that same noise when turning. Do is this a sign of a fron wheel bearing being shot? I have check the front suspension and everything else seems to be fine. thanks

Great write up! I might need to tackle this job myself shorthly.

Only remarks is that the wsm states 100 degrees Celsius instead of fahrenheid.
