[h1]HELP!!!!! IMS NIGHTMARE!![/h1]Urgent help needed fellow Boxster owners in Region 7
I'm restoring a 2002 Boxster S which has the single row IMS bearing. I've replaced the bearing with a custom built ceramic hybrid bearing but have used the original little stud that goes through the bearing. On installation and tightening the centre nut on the IMS housing the stud sheared off, I knew they were weak and was being careful!
I'm hoping someone has a stud that I can buy as Porsche don't sell it. Just maybe someone has upgraded theirs and have kept the old stud?
I've still to get the old stud back out and remove the bearing from the IMS shaft that I've just put in today.
Fingers crossed there's someone reading this who can save the day. I'm based outside Bradford in West Yorkshire.
Thanks in advance.
