An unorthodox method of replacing a wheel bearing
Here is my question: Would it be cheaper and quicker to switch out the entire wheel carrier with a used one or just replace the wheel bearing on the original wheel carrier?
1. I’ve researched this via my Bentley Manual, my 101 Projects for Your Porsche Boxster book, this forum and the technical articles on the Pelican website.
2. It appears that I will have to take the wheel carrier off in order to punch out the old wheel bearing and to push in the new wheel bearing. So why not just replace the original wheel carrier with another one and do away with putting in a new wheel bearing.
I say this because my 1999 Boxster has over 290,000 miles and the front driver’s side wheel bearing is bad (I can hear it and feel it as I drive). My goal is to reach 300,000 miles without going broke.
