Humming Noise Diagnosed - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I took my 99 down to the dearlership and the right rear bearing needs to be replaced. Thinking that I can handle this I have completed the following:
1. Caplipers removed.
2. Rotor removed.
3. Used a new puller to try and pull the hub?, off of the axle.
4. This is where I got scared and stopped. I need to get a manual as there are no articles on how to do this.

Has anyone completed a bearing removal on this site that can help.

I have a Porsche Boxster Technical Manual's which are on CD if your are interested I sell them for 30.00 ea. They offer exploded views and possible diagnosis of problems, it also includes removing and installing just about every part on the car. If you email me your fax number I can fax this right over and see if it will help you.

I have printed off the page that I think you need but it sounds like you are doing everything correctly

For a 944...it may help? I think it may be a front bearing though.

Thanks for your help. The link to the 944 page does help, but there are no photos. I sent Automon an email and hopefully he can still fax over the info from his c.d. I tried to pull off the part that the rotor bolts to and it doesn't seem to come directly off. Are there other things that need to be disconected?
