How many of you have replaced the IMS bearing yourself without tools?
How many of you have replaced the IMS bearing yourself without tools,and did you have a difficult time because of that? How many hours to do if no experience with VW/Porsche etc? What are the difficult part of it and what basic tools, jacks etc will be required? I have pulled and rebuilt engines, transmissions and straight axles, but am away from home and would have to work with a friend who has limited tools and 25 miles from Tucson. Thanks. Anyplace else online that covers this? Is there a consensus on which replacement is most reliable? It would seem like an oil feed would be very desirable, and maybe roller bearing vs ball - if any offer that.
