Fly Wheel Bolt Grade?
Hi everyone I am just getting ready to commence on the clutch job and I was wondering if someone knew the grade of bolts used to hold the fly wheel to the crank?. I was told that the heads strip when taking them off.

Part number is 928 102 151 01 for the flywheel bolt.
Here's a thread where several folks had great suggestions for getting the flywheel bolts off safely: https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ferrerid=27688
Here's a write-up on the RMS replacement by Bill: http://www.billsworkshop.com/P928S4/seal/seal.htm

I just replaced the rear crank seal on Saturday. The 12mm triple square-headed socket attachment took them off easily. I sprayed them all with PB Blaster before removing them to loosen up any corrosion.
Putting them back on was easy, too. The crank fitting has a location pin on it so you can't re-attach the flywheel wrong. Just go slow and be careful as you torque them down.

Hi John
Thanks for the info. If I were to strip a bolt I would replace all the bolts as I hate reusing old rusty bolts. I just can't wait for the replacements to arrive on the slow boat to China. I have a great source for fasteners I just need to know the grade of bolts. Any help would be greatly appreciated .

If you follow those suggestions on that thread I referenced (read the whole thing before you start) you probably won't strip any. The key is to get the tripple-square socket in all the way and have it as short as possible so it doesn't angle down when you try to turn it. The one I stripped was before I asked anything so I really didn't know what I was doing. Use the PB blaster as Big Dave suggested and you should be ok. Spray your flywheel bolts as soon as you get the clutch assembly out and let them soak while you're rebuilding your clutch.
Most important, before you do something trying to "figure it all out" on your own, ask for suggestions even if you think it's a stupid question. It'll save you hours of headaches and keep you from letting some words fly that you really didn't want to say. Ask me how I know this.
