996 Turbo rea caliper info needed

I've got a stripped bleeder screw in the rear driver caliper on my 2002 Turbo. Looking for a used part. Are turbo rear calipers unique? Any other rear caliper fit?

thanks and bleed your brakes is the lesson because the bleeder stripped the caliper because of water soaking the bleeder and rusting it.

Depending on miles I would replace both from a good vender,I'm sure you could find rebuilt. Have you tried easy out to remove broken bleeder

Bleeder screw is out, threads in caliper are damaged.

Calipers are aluminum. Any chance you can chase the thread with the next bigger tap and put in a bleeder screw that's slightly larger?

I've got a bolt in there for now and am going to try a 7/16" brake bleeder repair kit later today.

I'd like to eventually replace since its the outside bleeder and visible and next owner is likely to be picky.

Id say fix it so it works and don't worry about it. If the next owner is picky about that tell him to buy a non-turbo Porsche he can keep in the garage, wipe it with a babys diaper and never drive it.

Turbo's are meant to be driven hard, tracked and owned by enthusiasts. Not owned by men wearing high heels.

It's all worthless unless your bleeder screws are the same size.
