You are clearly lost on this procedure, and have added that you're trying to do this as cheaply as possible.

Porsche's are not cheap cars- while they can be cheap to purchase these days (used), they are not cheap to own.

I get that you're trying to save a "friend" money here, and that's fine and dandy, but what kind of favor are you going to be doing him when his motor blows up after the fact?

If you're not willing to learn to do this the right way, obtain the proper tools, and get rid of this "as cheap as possible" mindset, you need to tell your friend to find someone who knows how to do this properly, and won't do it while trying to save a buck.

I'm not new to Porsche, nor am I new to working on cars. just looking at the possible alternatives. The guy is on hard times, on this board it does not happen to every member, but it does happen to some. Some how he is stuck with the car as his only driver. I'm just doing what I can for him.

Right now it appears the best alternative is the Pelican M96 Intermediate Shaft Bearing kit, it can be purchased for less than $200. Whether it is something the the member has in his funds to do is something he has to decide.
