Newish, came out in May 2016, it is a 3 part series that shows a bunch of brake and wheel bearing work ion a 996 turbo, very similar to ours except all 4 wheels are drive wheels. He also shows a combo of tools I hadn't seen before, OTC Grappler puller combined with a kit like the Harbor freight wheel bearing kit. A lot cheaper than the SIR tools or the full OTC Grappler kit, and provides for pulling the hub without using a slide hammer. Also at 31:00 into the video he shows how to disassemble the bearing and repack with Redline CV High temp grease.
