New Wheel Bearings Bad?

[brp987]

page 42-14 bentley says install bearings with numbers facing toward the wheel hub.

The bearings come ready to install.

Here is a thread on the Pelican board. It's actually for older 911's, but the concepts are similar. The post explains how to build a bearing puller similar to sir tools for less than $20 at Home Depot or Lowes. I did mine (911) using the procedure. It was very simple. Hope this helps.

I feel like a dumbass. Bought another set of bearings and the SIR tool, put in the new ones and it still made the same noise/vibration. I knew that I did it right this time (thought I did last time too, but...).

After all of that, it turned out to be my cheap wheel spacers causing the issue. I tried out a larger set to see if it was the problem, and voi-la, no more vibration. Time to spend some more cash for the right size ones.

glad you found the issue.
