Good job getting it to this point so far!

From my understanding, one of the best tricks here is to heat the flange (not the stud/bolt) as red hot as you can w/o melting the thing lol. Drench is w/ a soaking wet rag and when it cools, punch it out. Agree on trying any type of bearing press too.

I'm sure you guys will have it out in no time and looking forward to hearing how you finally got it out!

Just picked up 2014 Boxster S with under 7,000 miles. Was a great 200 mile drive home. Only issue so far is the common PCM reboot. Hopefully it's the hdd.

Good, go purchase a Fidelity warranty while it's under 10k miles. Very cost effective below that milage.

Would you be able to PM me a quote for a 2015 Cayman GTS (9k miles) that I’m thinking about buying? Thanks.

Well, as long as we're asking for PMs, is a 2014 Boxster S with ~37k miles eligible? Thanks!

It took about 2 minutes of continuous air hammer, but it worked. 400 miles into the break in and I absolutely love it. I spent 15 months researching exhausts and videos don’t do it justice. Minimal to no drone and I’m glad I didn’t spend the extra money for a valved version.

Started replacing my H&R VTF springs with Bilstein PSS10 adjustable struts. One corner done, three to go.
