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.

All depends upon how much you value your hide; we have never reused them, and most dealers keep them, and other similar bolts in stock because the have to be replaced every time.

If you need the carnto drive normally, the bolts are not that fragile that they can’t be used while you obtain new ones.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Good morning Pelicans, I did the front brakes on my Wife's 996 last weekend and I started the rear brakes last night. I'm unable to reinstall the brake caliper bolts. The bottom bolts goes in easily but I can't get the threads started on the upper bolt. The bolts do go in just fine with out the caliper Any ideas Thanks

POST 2Original post

Post pictures of the caliper position as you have it.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

There is only one way to mount the calipers if you ever want to bleed the brakes.

POST 4Original post

Looks like the caliper is not all the way down. Notice the gap between the caliper and hub. Pull the pads out. Push the pistons back in and try again.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The internet is claiming the bolts are one use only. Any idea why?

POST 6Original post

Because they are torque to yield bolts, meaning they are stretched to get the final clamping force required; and once stretched, they are not reusable.

POST 7Original post

Stretched or not, your fitment question is not resolved. Have you tried fitting the caliper back on? If you need the carnto drive normally, the bolts are not that fragile that they can’t be used while you obtain new ones.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I removed the pads & hardware, pushed the pads in again and the new bolts went in. What a PITA
