![]() ![]() There is a black plastic seal on the front of the bearing - you would use a dental pick or something similar to pop the seal out of it's groove. At that time, you can reseal the IMS flange and have the rear main seal replaced as well. When you have your clutch replaced, it's best to have the grease seal removed off the original bearing to allow engine oil to better lubricate it. The debris generated by this invasive procedure will compromise the engine. Although there is a company that sells a tool and kit to bore the block, allowing you to change the bearing, you should never under any circumstances do this. If you have the non-serviceable bearing, the IMS can be changed with complete engine disassembly. We would estimate about a 1% failure rate. The incidence of failure with a 2006-2008 M96 or M97 Engine as found in the Boxster, Cayman, and 911 that have the larger (but non-serviceable) IMS is highly unlikely. There is a small chance that you have the non-serviceable bearing, which isn't a big deal. Just depending what you find may change the route you take. I wouldn't let that stop from changing the IMS bearing out. With a 2005, depending on build date, it is possible that you do indeed have a serviceable single row IMS bearing. ![]() We get emails almost daily with owners of 2005 model year Boxster and 911 models.
