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.

I forget the size male triple square (spline) needed, but I do recall the torque to retighten was 22ft/lb, secured with a drop of Loctite on each, per the BBS rep. The Loctite may prevent galvanic corrosion as well as preventing loss of the bolts, since the bolts are titanium threaded into aluminum. Wurth's silver to match the wheel paint color. BTW, BBS does not have replacement parts for these wheels, as they were supplied directly to Porsche in Germany for assembly and never stocked nor assembled by BBS . BOL

that's some good info. my tire shop has the spline tools and offered to remove and replace them, but I am a little anal when it comes to torque etc.. would much rather do it myself. I have a good relationship with the local hardware store, I am sure they will let me grab a few, see which one fits then come back and pay for the one I need. Thanks for the torque info.
