My manual isn't handy at the moment but wondered how many foot pounds to re-torque the wheels after removal.

Saw somewhere for the boxter 96 lbs. Is this the same for the carrera?

Thanks

 

Manual says 96 ft-lbs or 130 N-m

 

Thanks appreciate the post. Time to test drive the new torque wrench!

 

Porsche also recommends a thread anti-seizure paste.

 

Where would you pick up the anti-seize paste? Will be swapping out some wheels shortly, then on to my brake caliper paint project.

 

instead of painting your calipers, you may want to send them out for powder coating. I have seen ads in Panorama for complete Re+Re of your calipers, seems like a good price.

BTW you should check your torque after a 100 miles.

 

Power coating is the way to go, but not up for a huge project right now removing the calipers. Picked up some duplicolor, then read it wasn't a good choice, then ordered some G2 yesterday instead http://www.g2usa.com. It's probably the second best choice next to powder coating without removing them. Thanks for the re-torque info, will make a note of that.

 

GL with the project.

Take some pictures and post them.

 

Thanks, was planning on making a How-to with the project. People seem interested because of the cost ($40) and easy DIY.
