Yet another question I am afraid!
I need to replace my offside rear wheel bearing, as it has become noisy and I have been advised as such when I had the car serviced.
I would like to do the job myself, as that is part of the reason I bought the car i.e. to work on it, not just pay large sums to someone else to do it for me when often it is unessecary. Hence my question:
1.) In the 911 SC service manual by Bentley Publishers, it mentions the use of several special Porsche tools to remove the wheel bearing. Does anyone know if you have to use these are is it possible to perform the task without them?
2.) If you do need them where can they be obtained? (Any idea of cost?)
3.) On the subject of the bearing itself, I have found the cheapest place for the bearing to be eurocarparts (£26.50 +VAT) Will one form one of the other more specialist porsche parts suppliers ones (about £35-40 +VAT) be of any better quality? Any suggestions?
Thanks.
