Popular Post Daz Posted April 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2019 Finally got the Cayman back from service after service. Had a few challenges with the lady running the office first she tried charge me for items that were not done. The went out to car and she had forgot to stamp book. Even though she had put it back in the car. Got the car home order front brembo disc and pads from design 911. They arrived the next day. Yesterday stripped the first side down and got disc out. New brembo disc are uni directional but disc I got out was a old style which is directional. Then I looked at the other and they had given me one new style and one old style. So mad dash from Kent to Brentford, 90 mile round trip via dartford crossing, not ideal in rush hour on the Thursday before bank holiday 2.5hrs and made just before they closed. So this morning got first side completed. Started second side and the first bolt I touched was the bolt that secures the hydraulic pipe and the bolt sheared. I tried an extractor no luck. Finally had to drill out and retap. All done now but had a few stressful moments and barked at wife. Now taking her out to dinner to apologies. Still smiling😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxheadroom Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Sounds like a normal week of Porsche ownership :) the fixings for the hydraulic pipe bracket are prone to seizing, had to drill out and helicoil one last month. At least all turned out ok and Wifey still happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tozerman Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) These things are sent to try us. Dashing to Design 911 at that late hour was dedication indeed. I would have just gone to ECP and got them from there and then sent the others back later. Well done for perseverance. On my car I replaced the hydraulic pipe bolts with studs and nuts, no future worries. Edited April 20, 2019 by Tozerman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
