The only time we haven't is when we take apart a previously rebuilt TT.

Yours does look like it has the original bearings in the bearing units which suggests that this hasn't been rebuilt, but I can't tell for sure.

But then again nothing should surprise us anymore, Porsche did change their build specs on the fly.

Have fun with the rebuild.

Hi Constantine, the info wasn't from you. This TT is from a Euro 4 Speed, but not sure if that makes a difference. Were the SKF Bearings in the TT stock, because that is what was in there.
