930 dust cover

[77carrerabt]

does any one know the exact size of the 930 front wheel hub dust cover thread? I don't need a guess I would like to know the exact thread and pitch. Thanks for your help guys.

If you are referring to the wheel bearing dust cover(s),

our '89 930 and 911's have all had twist-off wheel bearing dust covers.

Maybe someone else will chime in.

That is correct, Gerry. I know some 930 guys have drilled and tapped a hole in the cap so a puller can be used to remove the cap as it is recessed and hard to get any type of tool on it to twist/pull it out.

Ok, I guess I will have to twist and pull it off also.

On the front:
Remove dust cover. I used a slide hammer with a piece of threaded rod and some nuts and washers. It came right off.
If this is done with a slide hammer and "piece of threaded rod" what is the size of the tread and pitch? I am asking the wrong question? And if it is twisted off, why then does this guy say use a slide hammer and a lot of other post say the same thing?
Just want to take my dust covers off the hubs guys.
Thanks

It has been awhile but I recall it being 8mm X 1.25.

thanks. I will give it a go. did you also use the slide hammer method or the twist and pull method?

77carrerabt-I responded to your PM.

The slide hammer method is probably the best way, in my opinion, to remove the 930 front wheel bearing hub dust cap.
