For those of you interested;

The correct bearing can be found here for a good price;

Manufacturer: FAG / SFK
Type: Double Row Angular Contact Bearing, Sealed
Side; 15 x 35 x 15.9 mm
Part number: 3202-BD-2HRS-TVH / 3202 2RS /

https://www.bearingbasement.com/pro...ag-double-row-angular-contact-bearing-sealed/

~ £18 / each and free shipping. Beats £60+ replacement items from porsche or OEM...

Just a case of pressing out the old and pressing in the new..

Freezing the bearing and heating the pulley may help.

I'll post some info when i do mine.

Great tip, but mine failed 2 months ago :)

Ended up doing all 3, plus belt!
 
Hi thanks for the tip here.

Does anybody you know if the bearings above are the correct spec for both idlers, and the tensioner.

I have a 996.2 C4 manual

I was previously looking at the Hamburg ones on design911 for £50 each, these all have different part numbers, so assumed there was a difference.

99710211900/1: https://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod6704/Drive-Belt-Deflection-Roller-Porsche-996---987---997_2/

99710211800/1: https://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod6702/Drive-Belt-Deflection-Roller-Porsche-996---987---997/

Many thanks
 
The bearings can only be replaced in the metal pulleys.
I can't remember how many are metal, 1 maybe 2.
The plastic moulded over the bearing cannot be replaced.
The bearings I specify are the correct spec. Identical to originals for the metal pulleys.
Very simple to press out and in.

Hi

Would these fit a 996 tt?

:thumbs:
 
Hi. Just had to replace one of mine, didn't see this until after I had bought one. Quick measure up and the bearings are the same in the turbo. I'm going to get a set in and replace the others during winter
Thanks Neil :thumb:
