Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Okay, now I really need help. I was tightening the three 13 mm nuts that held the bolts to the struts on the front of my 996. This is in the front under the plastic shroud that covers the air filter. One of the bolts snapped right flush against the car's frame. I was tighnening it to about 30 ft/lbs when this happened. Where can I get a replacement part for this and what is the torque setting?

POST 2Original post

The correct torque setting is 24ftlb. Drill out the snapped bolt and replace with a new M8 nut/bolt.

POST 3Original post

Gert, you're something else!! Pretty nice to have answers to questions like that pop up out of nowhere in less than 30 minutes!!!!!!!

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey, satisfaction guaranteed. Puts most dealers' service department to shame.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
