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.

Just curious, which part of the tool kit is used to remove the aluminium bearing installer.. See here at the 36 sec mark 2005 Boxster IMS Bearing Install - YouTube and the kit here It's not immediately obvious how the aluminium tool is pulled out once you've hammered it in. Or I am just being moronic as I haven't slept in 24 hours!
Ignore im gonna go to bed instead !
Looks like on that install they decided to place the nut on the IMS bolt to hold it to the aluminum installation cylinder.
The aluminum tool is not a press fit. It would be a nice sliding fit typical for a bearing pusher. The bearing is a push fit and can't be removed by hand, aluminum tool is slide fit and can easily be taken out by hand. The nut is just ensuring the move together and have concentric alignment during the install. That's how I see it anyway.
Bed sounds like a good idea. There is no special tool needed.
