Change History

Greetings,

I will be doing a clutch replacement on my '98 5 speed with 107k. I am looking into replacing the IMS bearing and have questions regarding the puller that Pelican and LN sell.

1) Is it necessary to do the job?

2) If so, are there any do-it-yourselfers out there that will rent or sell me one? I am a longtime 356 Registry and PCA member and will do right by anyone that can help with that, it just seems that almost $200 for a one time use tool (in my case, at least) is a bit much, so if you have one just laying around.....

Also, Pelican sells a factory IMS bearing with a stronger outer seal. My original bearing has made it to 107k so the Pelican part one seems fine by me vs. the LN part, unless anyone has heard anything adverse about the bearing from Pelican.

I posted this on another site yesterday with no response, sorry about the cross posting but I would like to order the parts today or tomorrow.


Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Sebastian
