IMS center bolt
I am about to rr my clutch,RMS and ims. I am making my tooling and my question is does anyone know the thread and size of the center bolt on the original? I need to get the correct coupling nut for my puller.
Thanks, Dave |
Mine had an M8 1.0 mm center bolt, it`s a 1999 Boxster. I wouldn`t waste an original dual row bearing at such a low mileage though by pulling it out. Just a thought.

Thanks appreciate the quick response. I’m changing it with low miles mostly due to the clutch..... which leads to the RMS. Which leads to the IMS. I would prefer to remove the inner seal on the IMS bearing but there’s no way to remove without pulling on the inner race which is fine to get it out but not to reuse. Too much stress/damage unseen to comfortably trust it after that. I see videos of guys “tapping” on the inner race driving it in that last 16th inch possibly damaging the bearing. This is done on the way out. I went back and forth on leaving it completely can’t go that either.......

The PCA videos with Jake Raby explain in detail what is happening with the IMSB. |
So a couple questions, the really crappy oil that comes out when the bearing is pulled is there because of the inner seal causing stagnation or in other words because the inner seal doesn’t allow the oil to flow thru the bearing? Does the Retrofit LN bearing have an inner seal or does it let the oil flow thru or rely on immersion and splash?
I appreciate you guys and your knowledge......... |

As far as I know the retrofit has no seals. |
Thank you Homeoboxster, to my surprise the retro kit showed up today and it has one seal, the inner. As of now I think I’m going to inspect in place removing the outer seal, if I have any doubts I’ll replace. I’m having no luck finding the m8 x 1.0 coupling nut for the puller. I contacted LN for a source and was told that they are going to start loaning tooling (2021) for free with purchase from them. I bought from Amazon so as far as tooling I’m SOL but the kit was $200 less expensive and according to Amazon returnable thru 1/31.
Thanks for the help and loan of your knowledge. |

Tool kits are often offer in for sale forums.

Thanks Mike, I got the puller/tools figured out, bought the correct tap and drill bit from Amazon delivered next day. Bought a 1/4” coupling nut, drilled and rethreaded to m8x1.0, same for the puller rod..... and red loctited matching bolt in the rod.I’ll let you know

I went in to my 23,250 mile 1998 Box and as the pictures show the dual row bearing was on its way. I pulled the seal on the bearing and found the bearing cage was broken but still in place and the balls just starting to go but races looked good.......there was surprisingly very little metal. When I pulled the bearing there was some in the tube but again very little, used paper towels on a set of magic fingers first with diesel fuel on the towel, I have a borescope and there is now nothing in the tube. I pulled the filter and it was spotless, dropped the oil and pan also spotless. The oil and filter had 500 miles. bought the car with 9100 miles in 2017. the oils been changed 4 times since I've had it with one being at the PDI. every filter has been cut and inspected with each. Did a 5000 mile cross country trip last July and changed the oil before I left and when I got home and inspected that filter as well, all have been spotless.
I know I'll be flamed, but I think I'm going to put it back together. I ordered a LN spin on filter and mag drain plug. I have a filter cutter so I'll change the oil at 50 miles first and inspect the filter, then 500 and then 1000mi.

Anybody know why you’re not supposed to use compressed air to blow the dust out
On your dual mass flywheel and no solvents “brakeclean”? |

Was there any grease left in the bearing... or oil? I find your course of action reasonable. With the bearing seals in place it seems to me that very little metal would be circulating. |
No there was no grease whatsoever. Hey my tooling worked great..........

Today I pulled the IMSB flange off the engine that I bought on ebay last Juin (and that just arrived after being stuck at the border) and the bearing is perfect. I removed the outer seal to check it out... turns smoothly and there is no play. Unless closer inspection reveals something I will put a new o-ring on the flange and button it up. The engine is supposed to have just under 99,000 miles on it.
