I have a new insert left over from my 987 if you need it (Lemfolder..?) , but you will need to remove your front mount and take it to a tire shop (or a friend with a press) to remove the old insert and install the new one.

Good luck
... and if you need to replace your water pump... with the mount out it is much easier.

Yes indeed, this would be a great opportunity to replace the water pump and the thermostat
