also take in mind you will need to torque them to 340 ft-lbs, so you need a very large torque wrench, or use the method described in this writ up fig 15:
Pelican Technical Article: Boxster Wheel Bearing Replacement - 986 / 987
i also assume you have the SIR tool Pelican Parts - Product Information: PEL-TOL-SIRB90-P2 ore you will not be able to remove the bearing with the hub on the car.

Many thanks, this has really helped . I will get new Nuts on the way (bad pun)as it looks like will need some to get the existing ones off. Should any type of thread sealant be used ? (Red Locktite)

I have the Harbour Freight bearing puller I bought just for this job and I hope it is up to the task, I also have the additional bearing separator p[late and the stuff is huge and the same items the guy used in the BMW E36 video....now just for some 50+ degree days to get this done.
