Steve, yes I have an 07 Cayman S (a Boxter w/roof..lol)
The first time I installed the rear bearings the PSM freaked out and JFP kindly asked "did you installed the bearing with the magnetic sensor facing the right way..?"
One side of the bearing has a magnetic strip that the sensor uses for the ABS, and Pelican sells you a gizmo for it, but someone on the forum recommended to use a thin metal strip and I used a small engineers ruler (the kind they give away at the trade shows) and is very easy to find which side is the magnetic one.
Please note that you should remove the sensor before removing the bearing because is very easy to break and it costs about $100...
Good luck with your project, it will be a nice workout...
