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.

Do I use the screw here in the picture? I tightened it on the first 2 but just wanted to make sure I was supposed to do it since it didn't say anything in the instructions. My guess is that it just simply holds the spacer in place, but ultimately wanted to verify with the experts on this site
I just want to let you know that this little screw will be difficult to remove later on. I think it may be related to heat/cold cycles and /dirt/water etc... I almost stripped them on all 4 wheels when I tried to remove my spacers. Actually I could not do it... Maybe I did not have the right tools for this job, but I decided to take my car to the experts at RUF instead when I upgraded my SD wheels with OEM GT3 wheels with an alignment job to make sure everything is straight and tight. I guess you could use some product on the screw so that it will help you later with their removal. Cheers,
So when you fit the screw - use an anti seize compound like copaslip
Then when it's time to remove the screw - if it's stuck - place philips screw driver on the screw - hit end of screw driver with hammer - screw comes out easily
+1!
I use an impact screwdriver ALL the time on the philips screws that hold calipers on. It works great and I've NEVER damaged one.
This is different from an air powered impact wrench...
