At the recent 911 clinic @ Reading OPC my car displayed signs of a leak from the RMS / IMS seal area so it went back to the garage that recently did a clutch change without changing the seals before i bought it for investigation & rectification. The work was all done for free which was good.

I'd heard & read a lot about these items but never seen them so left a camera with the guys to get some pics of the work. Here they are:

Great pics - probably the clearest and best I have found on this area, thanks for posting the info, and glad you got it sorted :)
 
Hi,

I thought the 996 IMS still has issue's ? And that the LN Engineering bearing was much better quality?.

those picture look like you have used a new OEM bearing? is this the case.
 
No play reported in the bearing so no new bearing fitted just the flange which holds the seal and supports the threaded section of the bearing.
