Meir,
You seem to be getting deeper into the mechanical bowels of the Boxster with each post !Well done and thanks for sharing.
So let me anticipate one of your future posts and suggest a better puller ?
Eventually you are going to need to replace a bearing and maybe 2nd gear in the 6 speed gearbox. For that you need a puller that coincidentally would work on the hub but is also about the only one that fits for the gearbox.It is a Kukko slender arm puller KK 20-10-S

A cheaper alternative that may work is:

12 PC New Car Repair Tools Universal Puller Set Two Arms Pulley Remover N008341 | eBay
The 'dremel-tool' technique mentioned earlier certainly works but requires great care.
When fitting the new bearing, remember the freezer/oven technique to avoid damage.
Are you doing the CV boots also?
Keep us posted.
