These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I want to change the tips on my 1999 996 cab. I got the bolt off one of a clamp that holds the tip on (with much effort due to), but the clamp will not budge. I tried PB blaster and WD40. Is there a trick to it? Or is it hammer time Thanks!

POST 2Original post

I had the same problem wirh I installed PSE. Spray it with WD-40, wait 15 minutes and gently try again to remove it. Spray and wait again if you need to. Be gentle; you don't want to accidently break it. Good luck, Mark

POST 3Original post

I feel your pain... Mine were rusted solid and would not budge. I ended up grinding off the formed end of the bolts and used aftermarket bolts. One of the clamps was damaged (a little too much zealousness with the grinder) and I made a new "end". I grinded a nice round shape, flattened it in a vice clamp, bent it into position and drilled a new hole. I just used a slightly longer bolt in that one and it still worked perfectly. I would have preferred going to a local Porsche parts shop, but that includes either mail order or a round trip inter-island flight and a rental car... Good luck!
