Hi all,
I have read conflicting info: Some say that you should not reuse flywheel bolts Others say to reuse them with some loctite blue and all is good. Seems obscene that these are $10+ each bolt. It looks like a number of Toyota equivalents are also M10 x 1.25, what I can not find is the length of the Porsche bolts. Seems like something like these should work if you can get the right length? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ARP-M10-x-1-25-x-2...8ah&vxp=mtr Thoughts? |

Our Porsche 962 mechanic said you never reuse flywheel bolts on a 6.

QUOTE(mepstein @ Jan 19 2016, 12:07 PM)  Our Porsche 962 mechanic said you never reuse flywheel bolts on a 6. That's IF you can even remove those %#@&king 12 point bolts on a 6 given that I think red loctite is on some of them. Had a hell of a time getting two of them out that stripped the 12 point head, so tried an ez out which required grinding off the outer rim of the pilot bearing first...   Ended up grinding the threads out of a nut and welding it on to the bolt head to get them out....Yecccch  Definitely NOT reusable! |
