Porsche special tools or at least the LACK of Porsche special tools has given many a keen DIY artist a sleepless night or two. Porsche won't even talk to you about them never mind let a regular human actually BUY one of them 😫 It seems there is more to fixing these Porsche 996 models than just a Porsche IMS Bearing.

Lack of experience certainly plays part in the confusion, the answer thankfully only required my occasional friend, "Dumb Luck" :)
