WM 425819 Removing And Installing Rear Wheel Bearing (Except 911 Turbo S Coupe "Ed. 918 SPYDER", 911 CARRERA 4 GTS, 911 CARRERA 4 GTS CABRIO, 911 Gt3 RS 4.0): Information

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2013 Porsche 911, 2012 Porsche 911, 2011 Porsche 911, 2010 Porsche 911, and 2009 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Information 

The wheel bearings adopt the function of the former ABS pulse rings. They are fitted with a so-called multipole seal. This is a seal with a magnetised layer, which generates the torque impulses for the ABS RPM sensors.

The multipole seal must not come into contact with highly magnetic parts. During installation, make sure that the magnetic side is facing the ABS sensor. Use test card 147-2 for this.
