I went through that!! Supposedly superseded. Porsche Orlando gave me the same numbers. The new bearings are an exact match to the old ones. I am driving around with them in the car....lol
Ah, good to know. I see many places that do not list the 01 Turbo in the list of applicable cars when the 02 to 05 are listed. I don't know why - I have a friend with an 03 and I haven't been able to identify any changes visually in the drive train. I have to ask every time to find out what's different.
I almost forgot. The snap ring pliers you have listed would not work for mine. This type of snap ring requires the flat tipped pliers. My smallest set would not fit. I had to grind down a small set of needle nose pliers.

Mine came with 4 different sets of tips. One set got the job done (twice) so it worked out OK - and they can be used for the "other" types of rings. Knowing what I know now... the two screw drivers I was using would have been OK if I had known that it just needed a little tap to get the shaft out. My trusty assistant could have given it a tap when I yelled: "NOW!!!".
Great DIY. Couple questions though. Where did you find that ball joint tool? I have a few various ball joint puller and installer tools but nothing like that one.
Also what is the torque spec for putting back the spindle nut?
i just had mine done. i could not do this on my own for i am not an aircraft mechanic like jp lol
i had been neglecting doing it for awhile and heard clicking at hard lock for a long time so was concerned about the integrity of the joints but i was good with just replacing the boots.

It was not too difficult Mark especially when you got a Maxjax ;-) Something funny with the part delivery from Pelican. The Fedex guy ask my wife if we own an aircraft because on the box there was a AOG sticker. AOG is to accelerate the delivery and mean Aircraft On Ground LOL!!! Good old days.....

max jax!? where i moved i no longer even have a garage!
funny you mention also pelican as i just ordered some small stuff for tune up and when it once took one day to deliver? my last order took about 7 days! i moved 500 miles away crazy times JP. stay well
re the cv boots now i need to r&r my rears! but since i'm not steering with that axle and mostly driven my new roads in straight lines. i'll wait a bit longer. i was really worried about the joints up front. but i got lucky. smooth as silk now and no more "clicking"!
I did my front ones over winter, as the body of my car was supported by a 2 post lift, while the engine and tranny were out.
In the big scope of things, a non-event. Not that messy either, when you plan for things.
Just need to know your torque settings when you bolt it all back together.
