You can do that, but Porsche recommends changing the caliper bolts whenever you change the pads, which is why they include them with the kit.

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.

21 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

... ,however, I noticed something a little different from what I recall on the front brake pads (which I changed over a year ago). The new pads don't come with the ring/round stubs as did the original pads. Is this normal or do I have the wrong pads.

remove the spiders with a spatula and reuse them on the new ones

Thanks... They've appearantly change the new caliper bolts to a star design therefore, I'm going to have to re-use the old bolts.

POST 6Original post

The anti-squeel pads don't come with them and can be resued, if you can get them off in one piece. However I recommond buying news ones all the time. Don't have to, just it makes the brake job easier. But thats just me.

POST 7Original post

Every B-Job should have rings on the round stub. I prefer red ones myself. I guess you don't really "need" them as they wash off.

I'll have to come back to that since my gf has my truck. Once I find the stud star socket, I'll switch them out. Thanks everyone, loading the tires back on now, then out to break in the new pads.

Wait a second, you have a GF yet you are still giving yourself a BJ? What gives? She should be helping you with the BJ, if only to get beer while you are working on the BJ. LOL

clean out the caliper bolt receivers real good and take precaution. If you cross thread, you'll be in a world of hurt. Ask me how I know...... :-(
