05 Cayenne Turbo, Rear wheel bearing DIY
Seen a few posts on here from search. Looks like another ugly job. Anyone have any input after doing it?
My road noise is not tire noise, 4 brand new tires and noise is the same. Discussed this with a dealer mechanic and he told me Cayenne don't exhibit symptoms such as a wobble test of the bearings. They simply start making noise and will wobble as it gets worse.
Thanks

LAPorsche guy:
specifically what part? I have a lift, tools and presses. Still looks hard. Recently put a clutch in my wife's 997, looks almost like I'd rather do that again instead of bearings.

It was a while ago and I remember a lot of swearing. I did it on the car which is maybe why it was a PIA. Next time I will do on my work bench. I'd still rather do 996/7 clutches all day long then the wheel bearing. haha. Good luck!

I did the front wheel bearings recently on my p!g. The job isn't bad as long as you have the right tools. I took the spindles off and pressed the bearings in.
Used a 20T press, wheel bearing adapter kit, and wheel bearing clamp from harbor freight. You'll need to have some square tubing or extra metal plates to space the spindle/bearing out from the press.
That being said, the rear parking brake is a PITA to get back on and adjusted. Good luck!
The following link is for the front wheel bearing but the tools/process should be similar -

They are just bigger than your average bearing so most tools wont fit and they tend to be stupid tight in the hub. If you have @ least a 20 ton press its more than doable @ home. Front or rear it is kinda a bitch to keep the upright positioned correctly while you press.
