Brake Caliper Stuck!
I tried changing my rotors this weekend, but came upon a problem, my top caliper bolt will not come out. I got it to turn about one and a half revolutions, but now it is fairly stuck. Don't want to tighten it back yet and strip anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks so much,
Adam

spray some break free or wd40... spray it every 1.5 hour, 3-4 times and let it sit overnight... it should break free... do not force it, patience is key!

No offense, are you sure your were loosing it? CCW = loosen.......

You will most likely need new caliper bolts.....Porsche recommends replacement anyway.
