Red face Spacers & bolts, now need the "washers"

Have purchased a set of spacers with bolts for my 2000 996 C2 but the bolts did not come with the washers. The set on my car do not come off.

Any one where I can buy these?

thanx

The washers on your stock bolts do come off. The best technique I found was to get a large flat screwdriver between the washer and the head and give it a good twist. Not pretty but effective. Once they are off they work fine on the H&R bolts. I don't know about other brands.

Emphasis on LARGE , BEEFY , LONG flat blade screwdriver. You need all the TQ you can muster to pop those alloy collars over the bolt's retaining ring. Once off, they slide easily onto new bolts since the new bolts don't have the ring.
