I'm happy to see that Pelican is offering options to resolve this ongoing issue. My local Porsche dealer offers a part number and refers me to Pelican Parts to buy the bearing, which they are willing to install for about $1,200.00 (about a year ago). That is the ONLY part they will install. Unfortunately, all of these options just restart the clock. They are limited wear solutions and will have to be repeated again in several years.
However, what I do not see is one of the many Direct Oil Feed replacement bearing assemblies. They all have pros and cons. I like the DOF idea but do not like the oil source for the LN Engineering option. I like the oil feed source for the Pedro's Garage solution but I don't care for his bearing choice. My preference would be the LN bearing combined with Pedro's oil source!
Unfortunately, that would require me to buy two complete bearing replacement assemblies and dispose of part of each one. It would be nice if Pelican could find a way to provide individual components of different assemblies so customers could "build a bear(ing)". You know, like the place at the mall!
