Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
If you read the latest threads on the LNE bearing they seem to be going in the direction that the replacement should be a maintenance item, to be done with each clutch change (40,000-50,000 miles?).
Leading evidence: 'related or not' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'related or not' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace (40,000-50,000 miles?)' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

If you read the latest threads on the LNE bearing they seem to be going in the direction that the replacement should be a maintenance item, to be done with each clutch change (40,000-50,000 miles?). So having a tool in the tool chest might be helpful.
I was thinking more along the lines of recycle -not a free borrow .If the tool is a one shot then it might make sense for someone to recover some of their money .Shipping costs to the buyer are essentially the same from LNE or a third party .I live in Southeastern Pennsylvania .The direction this is heading makes me think it was a bad idea

Not a bad idea to borrow one at all, just thinking that these may become a maintenance tool. I know one member here lent me his cam timing tool, I covered the shipping both ways (and he trusted me, no deposit). Just today I loaned my brake bleeder cap and some wrenches to another local owner. If I had one I would be happy to lend it out, but think I would want it back for the tool box.
Not sure how to handle this .Since Ride 123 responded first ,common courtesy for me to respond .Shark Attack's offer is very good -since I seriously doubt I would keep the car thru a second IMS bearing .
How about I defer to Ride 123 ?
Although I don't have a problem with my Porsche, I do have an issue with my '05 GMC pickup truck. I can't add fuel easily at the pump...it takes me 15 min. to put in 8 gallons. My mechanic said I need to get a new Delco fuel sending unit,or fuel module to correct the problem. It moniters the fuel level. Don't know if your issue is related or not.
I too would be interested in the $100 rental agreement mentioned above if available to someone you do not know...as in me! Appreciate your consideration. Thanks.
