When I first bought my 1997 Boxster, I trailered it home and took it for a ride to my kids school. One of the serpentine belt pulleys locked up and it threw the belt off.

I loaded it back on the trailer and brought it home. I took off the pulley and replaced the bearing as I am cheap. Now that my engine is out of the car I replaced the other 2 and snapped some pictures. The bearings cost me about $8.00 each (I buy quite a few bearings each month for my company) It is really easy to do if you have a vice to use as a press. The bearing I used was a 6203 NSE Nachi.

All the bearings are the same size in all the serp pulleys.

The tensioner pulley has a 15mm bolt in the back and a 15/16" (?mm) on the front side.

These pulleys are also all the same, regardless of function. Good luck.

So, there are thre of these bearings on the car, are these the same on the later cars, as in my '03s? If so, i now have something to put on the Christmas list.

Thanks, Chuck

Awesome and great job.

Now if you could id alternates to the sealed bearings used in the transmission that would be a huge savings. Porshe wants $365 for one and $265 for another. It adds up pretty quick to nearly $1K in bearings when you go to rebuild the trans in either the Boxster, BoxsterS or 996.

I am relatively sure that Porsche does not make any bearings but uses "off the shelf" for most applications... Virtually any bearing is available if you know the type (single row, double row, angular contact, cone etc) and the dimensions...most often at reduced cost...
