Really, really clear video. Thanks so much. this is a job I plan to do and

Great video, thank you for posting. Helped me to prepare mentally so I
could do the job in one evening after dinner and drive to work the next
morning. How long before you check and adjust bearing play with these new
units? Couple of thousand km’s to let them settle I guess? (I don’t race it
I just drive it fast on the freeway on a daily basis). Keep on posting your
video’s I find them very useful and entertaining.

Even two and a half year after you posted it I am happy with it. How did
you noticed the bearings were bad, or was it time based maintenance? Thanks

hey vsvenson – you seemed to do the bearing pretty tight? I thought you are
supposed to be able to move the washer when the bearing is correctly
adjusted?

Akram Rabah says:

thank you very much. Now I can replace the bearings on my 968.

Very well done

rtwilner says:

Hey Van — Is this method of tightening the bearing retaining nut specific
to track service or is it also applicable to a street car? I am having a
hard time with the “move the thrust washer with a screwdriver” spec, your
method is more straightforward.
