^Did you have to take the entire trailing arm out of the car?
I've had easy ones and difficult ones, but eventually the slide hammer always works. The hub adapter has to be bolted on tightly, and you have to have some decent muscle and give it all you've got.
The old bearing always comes apart when I do it, it's inevitable.

Strangely, it was very easy to remove the inner race from the hub after I got the hub out.
I'm just glad it's done. Refurbishing the rear suspension has got to be the worst job on the 944, period.

No, but it's on my list to get to eventually. How much worse can it be than replacing the spring plate bushings, trailing arm bushings, spring plate mounts, re-indexing the torsion bars, and replacing the rear wheel bearings?

Ugh. Mine's working fine but I am rebuilding or replacing basically everything rubber and I'd like to have all "new" brakes just for piece of mind. Maybe I will hold off until it actually gives me problems.

Brake booster? At least on the NA, there's room around the MC to take that off pretty easily. On the turbo (or worse, 968), I'd need some 80's Arnold guns to scare that thing out of place.
My most dreaded jobs: TT rebuild, hatch rebuild, and absolutely the worst, pulling the carpet and cleaning all of the glue off the floor on a later car.
