I asked the dealership to include the specs for the tightening torque. They included the printout the techs use. There are two steps:MAJOR EDIT. I just swapped the original wheel back on and noticed I blindly quoted NCThirteen.( 37 ft/lb is wrong for 991.2 )1. 22 ft/lb2. 90°
I borrowed a friend’s digital torque wrench that measured angle torque for the second step.

Hi guys,
Two questions-
1) Why does the dealership page say M18 size? I performed this operation and it’s definitely an M12 XZN bit.
2) Does anyone have the complete set of pages from the Porsche service manual associated with this operation?

I can't thank you enough. I have a 2024 718 Boxster S with a heated steering wheel. The little plastic part that turns it on and off, broke off and I had to replace the entire switch. I live near Burlington, VT and my nearest Dealership is a 2 hr. and 45 min. drive each way. Anyway, by following your excellent and clear directions, I was able to replace it myself without too much trouble. Excellent post! Thanks!
