Hey Loren do you happen to have instructions on how to install the wheel bearings? I had them pressed in and out at the local machine shop for my dad's 993tt so I can do that. I just wanted to know the dissasembly etc. with torque settings as well and how entailed it is. Thanks as always. Sean

Is this something that I can do by myself btw? By looking at the PET it appears that it could be. Let me know what you think as I am not about paying 850 bucks for the dealer to do it and saving on the machine shop might be nice too. Do I need to remove the hub completely? I just had the alignment done so it would be great if not. Thanks Loren. Sean

Is it always necessary to remove the carrier from the suspension, or suspension assembly from the car, in order to R&R front wheel bearings? Saving the cost of an alignment would be a big + for me!

The bearing race is pressed into the wheel carrier with a hydraulic press.

So either I need a horizontal hydraulic press or I need to remove the carrier... Crapo

Thanks

Would it be possible to use a hydraulic puller in reverse?

Theoretically there's no reason it wouldn't work, it's just a case of how you would gain purchase from the rear of the leg. It may be possible to make up a clamping bracket if you have access to a machine shop.
