That bearing set should work if the spacer ring is big enough. I actually have the same slide hammer. I tried it first and broke the adapter plate after about 30 or 40 good whacks. It is VERY cheaply made. The other type hub puller was my fall back and it worked like a charm.

I'll be taking the slide hammer back for a refund.

Check out this specialized Porsche rear wheel bearing tool... that's NOT made by Chinese prison laborers. Actually it's sold "factory direct" from an enthusiast in Missouri (I think) who has a day job. Apparently he's got a great reputation.

A phenomenal value at only $105(!!!) and you can probably easily resell for not much of a hit because it can be used on so many Porsche models going all the way back to 1974.

I will definitely be buying when the time comes, which won't be long.
