bally4563 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Whilst replacing front pads and discs yesterday, near side calipers bolt sheared off, whist undoing?? Was obviously tight, applied some heat but to no avail. Drilled it out and re tapped the thread, now need a bolt, so off the road for a bit until I can source one.........Don't you just love Porsches!!!!????
