I noticed my right front brake locking up under hard braking at Laguna last week. I think it's either a sticking piston in the caliper or a wheel bearing as it's accompanied by a metallic noise that isn't just pad noise.

The spare parts box that came with my car had a new front and rear bearing which are not the same size. In looking online it appears that some Boxsters have the same size bearing front and rear. The tool the Pelican has to remove them appears to work only on the rear bearing.

So I'm assuming that I would need a different tool for the front than the rear. Can someone confirm this and point me in the right direction? My local shop wants to charge me 4 hours to do the replacement and at that cost - and the fact that it appears that wheel bearings are a weak spot on these cars - i'm thinking of investing in the tool and doing it myself.
