1). You will always have to pull the engine (or drop the trans) to change the IMS Bearing. On any year Boxster or Cayman often done at the same time as clutch is replaced. Flywheel needs to come off to get at it.

2). I would use the new L&N Engineering oil fed unit, and will replace my current L&N double ceramic replacement bearing with one the next time it appears that my clutch needs replacement. Check out which years engines require engine disassembly to replace the bearing, and don't buy one of those - otherwise it's a do it yourself or easy job for a good independent shop.

3) There is an official Porsche manual, it costs a fortune. I am having decent luck with Bentley, 101 projects book, and forums. I Take the car to a local independent Porsche shop for anything I don't feel reasonably confident about.

Good luck
