Ah yes, new caliper bolts. They must be replaced every time the caliper is removed from the hub. I hope your front ones back out easily. Mine did not and I moaned about that on a separate thread two years ago (search "caliper bolt" for it if you really want to read the whole sad story)

Kim, you could rebuild your calipers if you like, but the parts are not readily available and Porsche only sells the dust covers, not the piston gaskets. And if they're working now, I wouldn't open that can of worms if I were you.

From what I've read, you're doing just about all you should be doing at this point. You'll be very happy when you're all done, and your car will stop on a dime.

One last thought: Use the best brake fluid you can buy when you bleed the brake lines. I use this German stuff with a very high boiling point, even higher than the Porsche fluid. I can't recall the name right now, but I know other members will remember it and post it for you.
