anti-seize or?
The bolts that hold my front calipers in place (02 Boxster S) and the screw holding the brake line bracket to the strut tower have a blue substance on the threads. Based on mileage, I'm guessing this is the first time they've been removed. So, is this an anti-seize compound or a thread locker? Should I be applying this substance when I reassemble? What do you guys think? I will torque them down to factory specs.

If it were me, I would clean those bolt threads good and apply the blue thread lock and torque.
You will feel better knowing they won't back out......it's the ticket! |

Yeah not sure I’ve ever used thread locker on any caliper bolt. Anti-seize for sure.

This is the reason the official service procedures call for replacement of these screws rather than reuse ... so you get a screw with preapplied threadlocker. Think maybe the Porsche 986 versions may stretch as well ... so again, replace, don't reuse. |
