Other than that you'll need to support the caliper so it doesn't hang by its brake line while you are swapping rotors and I'd recommend cleaning the contact surface of the rotors so that your first brake application doesn't result in an unexpected collision. Luckily there should not be a shortage of people willing to help at the tech day.

Quote:at tech next weekend I am planning on changing the rotors on my 996. They have more than a few spider cracks that are too long to pass PA inspection.According to the Bentley manual for the 986 which should have the same procedure, you will need a new set of caliper bolts. They have a 10mm Allen wrench head and are torqued to 63 ft-lbs (85 Nm).
Besides the rotors, what other parts, supplies, items, etc. will I need to bring with me and to what level will I torque the caliper bolts?
