well i humbly disagree. sort of. if you can get them off with a "hack", good and good riddance. throw them away and put in regular bolts.if you fail, however, you are screwed. you have stripped bolts and a nightmare.

the porsche dealer will almost certainly be able to figure out the correct key and sell it to you if you bring it there. they cannot tell remotely. (in my case it was $60+tax). i saved them and the key in a box.

Thanks for the responses. I did tried to hammer it with a socket but only stripping the threads out unfortunately. And the dealer did said only way to provide the correct key is to have the car in physically.

Best Regards,
Roger
