Where is the oil going out again of the bearing ? On the other side the seal is there still.
freeze the bearing before you install it. It will go in a lot easier
Getting the shaft out is the tricky bit
Original bearing seems to have many ball bearings missing?
Gr8 video…I had read that the earlier 2 row bearing fitted by Porsche was actually a pretty good (as you evidenced). However, being sealed as you mentioned the oil inside the shaft from repeated heating and cooling would turn acidic and that would eventually eat at the bearing 2 row or not. Thx for sharing!!!
I realise this is an old vid but I have just seen it. I have no connection with Jake Raby but he was the first was the first to do this so he deserves credit for that. The rest have built on his work. I fitted an LNE IMS Solution kit to a 2004 Boxster S (weak single row original bearing) and it was very well presented, engineered and is an whole of life of car solution. This unit takes oil from a filter adaptor and works very well but is expensive. However if I was doing it again I would use a ceramic bearing with no seals. By the way, if you want to examine the balls and races in the original bearing cut the outer race with a cutting disk. Also why did you thread lock and torque the new bearing retainer nut when you will have to remove it to get the shaft back in the car?
Top video! Thank you!
so was this out of a 1999 porsche 911 i heard the 99 don’t fail like ttw other years is thus true?
I'm a LN Engineering Fan. I prefer using their products ! Jake Raby was the first to understand and create an IMS Solution for the MXX Metzger engines. I personally have one in my "99 996. Good to go for many years!! I won't to have to worry about it in my lifetime! HooAh?
When I heard your English voice I thought great something for the uk market. But I was wrong, all in usd and some don't ship over here 🙁
Great video. Thanks.
Thanks for another excellent video! This was actually my first time seeing the IMS in detail.
I replaced mine with an EPS bearing kit. It was more than 500 bucks though. I put in a new clutch, bearing and seal in my 986 working in my garage on jack stands. Pretty easy job for a guy handy with tools. Funny, my EPS kit had more stuff to it than your photo and looked just like your Rose kit. I think the Rose kit IS the EPS kit but at more cost. I have 4000 mile since the upgrade and no leaks or noises, as you should expect. I think it is false security to use the pelican bearing ,and the LN solution is way overkill unless you are racing….maybe. It took me a day to get my trans and exhaust out, remove the old bearing with a pilot bearing tool I borrowed from Oreilly's. I would have had it back together the next day, but EPS sent me the wrong clutch disc. They are different between the standard Boxster and the S model, so I spent the 2nd day cleaning up my exhaust and undercarriage. Next day the clutch came and I tapped the new bearing in with the EPS tool provided, and finished it that night. On the road in 3 days. You can do it!
