Oddly no, I cleaned off the lip just past the bearing and drained all the oil out of the car. Over night oil leaked back out of the bearing and filled that space shown in the photo. Its either oil that was in the bearing or oil that was in the tube and leaked back through the bearing.

QUESTION: Does anyone know what threads are on the revised Pelican IMS bearing shaft? I need to order some parts to make this tool. Thanks


Happy Friday guys

Contact LN Engineering, they produce Pelican's low priced kits for them and should know what size the stud is. Most likely, their supplemental IMS tool kit has the correct adaptor in it, but you should ask them that question as well.

Good call! I just gave LN a ring and they are sending me an adapter free of charge! Those guys rock!

Amazing service to the Porsche Community by LN Engineering.
This was Not their customer, it was not their problem. Truegear probably never bought anything from them. But they gave him a valuable part anyway. Outstanding.
Hopefully this standard of performance is remembered by the Peanut Gallery who so delight in disparaging LN and others.
A happy conclusion for all would be to read that an LN IMSB was eventually fitted as a replacement for the failed Pelican part. Great story, thanks for sharing with us.
