Did Porsche list a time out on the hubs in the 991 GT3 manual?

Yes, recalling from memory, it's 6K track miles rear 12K front. Unlimited miles outside of track.

Thanks

You're a brave man putting your life in the hands of others. I hope your dealer doesn't let you down... Forget about letting a tyre shop handle those things for you...

I've got all the tools now, including the 3R tool below and specified grease. My only question is, how much grease to use? On the cone and threads. A little or a lot?

It should state it on the procedure manual. If I recall correctly, it's just enough to coat the surface so that the grease covers it fully. The wells are to be filled.

I'm with Nick, you shouldn't have to be a "shade tree" mechanic to make sure that a 2014 car operates safely.

This is true, you shouldn't.

Unfortunately, that is not the reality. If you can't do it yourself, make sure you find someone you can trust. Blindly trusting work being done just because they are a Porsche dealership is a mistake.

If you plan to track or drive your cars hard in canyons, backroads, etc. then you are insane to not know and practice proper wheel torque and maintenance.

I'm pretty sure the manual procedure for the 991 was posted here and I don't recall it stipulating the amount of grease or that the bolts needed to be disassembled as was the case with the 997.2...

For the 997.2, the threaded areas required a thicker (0.5mm+) coat of grease, the conical areas and those within the bolt a light coat (0.2mm) or enough to lightly coat as 24Cr suggests.

My suggestion, when you pick up the car, ask the dealer to provide a print out of the workshop notes applicable to the 991 CLs so you can be certain...

you dont have a CL car yet do you?
reality and fantasy are not the same..
i dont have to be shade tree mechanic, i became a real mechanic
you will wake up once you have a CL car.
it's like airborne rangers. they ALL chk their OWN chutes. you dont leave that to others.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Actually, I had a CL car and now it's gone but that's a story for another day. I didn't say you DO NOT have to check your own CL's, I said you SHOULD NOT have to be a mechanic with special tools to check them. With five lug wheels, I, and I assume almost everyone else in the world, drive away from the dealer without worrying about the wheels. When I go to the track, checking the lug nuts is a simple procedure with a basic tool that everyone understands. If you read my earlier post in this thread, you would see that I questioned the purpose and value of CL's. This lengthy technical discussion only confirms my opinion.

Don't forget to add a layer of grease to hands, tools, hair, face, seats, door handle, friend's hand, dog...etc.

I check my CL almost daily and its working just fine.....
