Just found some good vids on youtube for changing the front bearings. Also covers the front pads and brake discs too. http://www.youtube.com/user/vsvenson#p/u/19/PjFY7-IHgvQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L5FtX0QhK4&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2lUqvga0n0&feature=related Planning to do my front brakes soon. May attempt the bearings. Thought the vids may be of interest to anyone planning to do theirs. The vids are for a Turbo S, does anyone know if this is the exact same procedure for an S2? Mike |

Mike Mike, yes it is. The bearings can either be dead easy or a right royal PITA! Mine took an hour & a half of swearing & I ended up heating the hub. Pauls car was much easier. |

As stated usually either really easy or a PITA I took mine to my local (none Porsche or Indie) garage and they did both fronts for £130 including materials and VAT, took them about 2 hours and I thought it was worth it as I knew I would not be lucky enough to be able to remove my old races easily and could already see the bloody knuckles and tears. |

I think its front right that is going. It's not too bad, so not urgent yet. I may buy a second hub that I can work on and get it ready to make a quick swap over. I don't want to get half way through and find I can't do it and only have 3 wheels. It'll probably cost me the same to do it myself as to get it done at a garage but at least I will have a few more tools and will give me a wee project to keep busy with. Mike |
