watched your vid and a few others as I dive into my '68 swing arms. Great little DIY "special" tool. Only thing that was causing some concern was sliding a threaded metal rod past those beautiful machined innards. So, I cut down a section of PVC pipe as a protective sleeve over the threaded rod that is inside the carrier to guard a bit against accidental marring of a race, etc. Making new tools is almost as much fun as working on a Porsche!
Hi Bisi. Good vid but one observation. When you pull the hub in, the back of your tool should be resting on the bearing inner race. The way you did would put load on the ball races. You probably got away with it because you only wound it in a little bit before using the hub nut to finish. If someone wound in all the way using the tool, the bearing might get trashed.
After helping a friend with this I don't see how using the 3" PVC would apply any pressure on the outer bearing race. At 3" the PVC rests perfectly on the metal arm and does not come in contact with the bearings or race at all. Using washers against the inner bearing race 100% puts all the pressure on the bearings, albeit the race. It seems like a much better option to avoid using the race as part of "homemade" press and instead using the casted metal arm for all the force. I vote for @Bisimoto approach.
@@nycsheki You want to pull against the inner race on the rear, because that is where the drag is on the front. Using the method in the video, you will damage the bearing if the hub does not slide in pretty easily. Been there and damaged 2.
Hey Hey! Great video and very confidence inspiring! I'm about to tackle on a 2002 996. Do you think you happen to know if the process would be the same or similar? I'll be back looking for more vides. Great accent too btw!

you and team are a blessing to the porsche and greater automotive community.
Thanks for the kind words.
Brilliant! I was lucky enough to borrow a proper kit from a friend, but making your own tools from inexpensive available parts is so rewarding.
Cheers.
Thank you for this tutorial. All meat, no fat... straight to the point

@@Bisimoto seriously, that 935... EV... It's just out of this world! Hugs from Brazil man!
You must be blind mentally challanged
Science!bisi always find the easy way.
Cheers
Necessity is the mother of invention! Well, done sir, and good show!
Thanks, so much.
Did almost the same thing to replace a seal, deep in the front diff of my dodge, gotta love it when homemade tools work great
thank you so much for this video... you just made my day.
My pleasure.
Great video! My cars going into the shop Monday for a wheel bearing too haha
Thanks. STay safe.

Thanks, so much.
Another great video, thanks for sharing skill!!
My pleasure. Thanks, so much.
There is a typographic error in the video description. Perhaps the word "for" should be substituted with "from".

Great catch. Thanks.
So the drive axle on bolts from both sides and you don't have to drop the a arm or ball joint? Love the video
Absolutely.

Thanks for the kind words. It is a bit different with the newer gen 911s.
For reminds me of Ed from Wheeler dealers
