They probably have everything except to pull the hub which requires somewhat vehicle specific attachments to press against the vehicle behind the hub in order to pull it, unless you want to use something like a slide hammer.

I've got this set (full disclosure, I haven't yet used it on the Boxster or Cayman, but it looks very similar to the SIR tools I did use the time I did the job)

It is HEAVY. I bet shipping to/from would eat up a good chunk of the purchase price. Maybe the auto parts loaner tool have something like this?

If someone has the SIR kit with just the plates for Porsche it would be a lot lighter and probably ideal.
