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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm going to replace my '99 996's front rotors and pads next weekend by following along with the April 2004 Excellence article, "996 + Boxter Brake Replacement." Even though I have no experience in this area, I'll have some knowledgable people around to back me up and this article seems pretty straight-forward. Still, according to the author, it would be a good idea to replace not just the rotors, pads, and wear sensors, but also to put in new: 1. spreader springs 2. retainer pins 3. retaining clips 4. retainer screws Now, whatever those things are (and I have no idea as I write this), I'd like to get some new ones. So I asked the Porsche dealer to send me some, but the guy only mailed a little baggie of four screws. Maybe they are the retainer screws. He wasn't much help there honestly. My question is, where can I get these things and how many should I be getting? Anybody who can point me in the right direction would help to ensure that my car continues to stop successfully for many years to come. Thanks!

http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?act=idx Click on the DIY section. We reuse all that stuff. I know, Porsche says..... My dealer does not even stock those parts. Each rotor is held in place with 2 phillips screws - if those are the screws you have. Each caliper is bolted on with two 10 mm allen bolts, and Porsche says....
