Hi all,

I have an 02 986 Boxster. I have been thinking of doing IMS bearing job myself. I just found out today that my front crankshaft pulley is an aftermarket one, which has no dedicated hole for locking crankshaft at TDC. This is a devastating news! Any idea how to proceed the IMS bearing replacement job without locking crankshaft??
