Boxster S front wheel bearing replacement

[steved0x]

Front bearing:
Pulling hub - good, same as backs
Pressing hub - good, same as backs
Pulling bearing - have to use the same plate as pressing the hub, fits the inner race, we'll see
Pressing bearing - press plate overhangs the bearing, but since it mounts flush to wheel carrier should be ok

Since base boxster uses the same bearing all 4 corners and it is the same as the S front bearing, it would suck if this tool is missing the smaller plate to make it work. I'll know this weekend.

Good luck on the caliper rebuild, are you going with high temp silicon dust boots?

Didn't got with the silicone boots - too much sensitivity to brake fluid. Went with the Centric kit which includes the inner seals. Caliper is apart now just waiting for the seals and boots to be delivered. I original bought the OEM boot kit from Pelican but it didn't have the inner seals. I might just keep it for spares as the boots don't last all that long. Easy to replace though.
