Looking for the 6" threaded aluminium rod thingy from the tool kit that you screw into the hub to assist with proper alignment when putting on a wheel.

I don't need the entire tool kit, just the guide. Anyone got an extra one they'd be willing to part with? Thanks.

If you can't find any sellers, just order it directly from either your local dealer or Suncoast or Sunset Porsche. It should be under $10

Wheel Hanger Bolt at Suncoast Porsce $8.95

(photo irony ... can't imagine someone who let their brake calipers get so trashed really used this tool

)

Thx for the suggestion, Burg.

Who knew a highly engineered and machined Porsche part would be under 10 bucks? Knowing Porsche pricing, I'd have guessed $50.

So I stopped at Woodhouse Porsche after work tonight to order the guide. Didn't need to order it - they had it in stock. The parts guy said he decided to keep some on hand. $8.69 before tax. Woodhouse continues to amaze me.
