Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

7 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

Good morning fellow pork owners was just reading this morning threads especialy the one on failing 996 engines.... (wont be using that engineer at hartech) heheheh ok ... could someone kindly advise or point me in the direction of torque settings for of caliper bolts and front drop links (1999 996c2 cab here) tried looking on rentech too but mostly for 986 .... now must go and figure how to remove top sheered caliper bolts ( would have been nice to have met the previous owner on my car ) id have killed him by now hehehehe take care and thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

IIRC, the torque for the caliper bolts is 63 ft/lb. I have no idea on the ARB drop links.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Could just be that the last owner/tech didn't use any anti seize on the bolts Suggest a high temp product like Copaslip when you re-fit to prevent it from happening next time. http://www.marspetrochem.com/molyslip.htm

Last bolt set from Performance parts didn't come with a coating FWIW. Visual inspection will resolve this for the OP. Porsche clearly do not recommend re-using the original bolts - but then they would want to sell you a new set. Mute point here as the originals are knackered already.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thank you guys, yes in fact i collected the new ones today and in fact they not anodized black anymore just a putrid grey heheheh yes in fact porsche do recommend new ones purely because the temp changes does render them a little vulnerable and i can testify to that as both top bolts have shredded. Have ordered a stud extractor kit today also once that arrives i hope to remove the damaged ones then i can change discs and pads as was the original plan (fitted drop links today - easy as pie)
