[I Wanna 911]

I'm curious about replacing the IMS bearing in a 996 or 997, since I've begun researching these generations of 911s.

I've been reading a lot about this repair, including articles that say an experienced mechanic with patience, know-how and the right tools can do this job themselves. In fact I think someone said Pelican sells a kit for about $1000 that will provide the fix.

Would love to hear about this, especially if you've done one yourself.

Also, if one buys a 996 with, say, 50,000 miles on it, and the previous owner has not swapped out the IMS bearing, I assume a good shop can perform a an inspection or test to determine the status of the original bearing, correct?

Thanks Very Much,
Scott
