Rusting Brake Caliper Haedware
I have a 2011 911 CARERRA and getting rust on the bolts on the caliper seeing if anyone else is having the same issue and how it was corrected. The dealer sugested to used a wire brush but that is not the right answer. Sent email to Porsche USA so hopefully thay can give me a answer.

Hmmmm? Never seen any of my bolts rusting away. Where do you live? Salt/snow?

Can you post pics?

There are only two bolts holding the caliper. At $5 each I'd just buy a new set.

They need to be changed when you replace Rotors. I would care either way, it won't hurt the car.
