Information
Always observe the following when working with wheel bolts:
Wheel bolt
| 1 | Spherical cap ring (permanently connected to the wheel bolt) |
| 2 | Spherical cap bearing surface facing the rim. Do not grease. |
| 3 | Thread. Do not grease. |
| Arrows | Contact surfaces between the bolt head and spherical cap ring. Do not grease. |
- Only use original wheel bolts.
- Wheel bolts must never be reworked.
- Replace damaged wheel bolts. This damage includes mechanical damage to the thread, the spherical cap and damage resulting from seizure of the bolt head bearing surface and spherical cap ring. It must be possible to rotate the spherical cap ring on the bolt shank and to move it in axial direction.
- Never grease the wheel bolts and security wheel bolts.
Information
Assembly aids (threaded bolts for fitting wheel)
- For vehicles with PCCB, use two assembly aids (threaded bolts for fitting wheel) -1- to prevent any heavy contact between the wheel and brake disc!
- The assembly aids must be ordered using the Porsche Electronic Parts Information (PET).
- To make fitting easier, a wheel fitting trolley can be used.
Information
The use of power tools (impact bolter) for loosening and securing the wheel bolts is not permitted.
- Loosen wheel bolts -1-
on the wheel (do not unscrew fully!).
