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.

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.

POST 1Original post

Anyone know for sure what the Green caliper bolt torque spec is? I read 65 ft/lbs but also read 80 too. I don't see need to replace them even though I read it is required by Porsche. There is or was no loctite unless the green coating is the thread lock...anyone?

POST 2Original post

i show that the front & rear caliper M12 tightening spec is 63ft-lb. these are single-use fasteners and i don't see that additional thread lock is specified.

POST 4Original post

When I changed my brake rotors, I changed these bolts. I asked my local independant Porsche shop about the need for thread locker and they said, no need.

POST 5Original post

If the spec says single use, do not risk it, change it. For a few dollars you might be saving your car.

POST 6Original post

So, why did you (have to) change the rotors?? Just had a dealer tech say that rotors wear out with heavy use... and quoted $900 for the fronts ... What was your experience and what did you pay?? Thanks.. D
