Need some advice from the Tiptronic experts out there. I have a 2002 996, with a Tiptronic. I need to put new bolts in, that attach the CV shaft to the Tip transmission. Old ones started to strip out. There is a spacer between the transmission and the CV hub. Is that stock or a spacer to make the wheels stick out farther.

When I ordered the new bolts, they were 50mm in length. However, the ones I pulled out were 65mm in length.

I am guessing that the Tips came from the factory with this spacer, but I can't find anywhere a mention of this or where to get the longer bolts.

Advice or insight?




Old bolt on the left, new one from Pelican Parts 900-067-229-01



Triple square vs Hex head



Spacer between Tip and CV hub



15mm thick



Spacer fits in between here.

They sent you the wrong bolts..the bolts they sent were for the 99-01 tip (ZF)..the 02-04 tip (MB) has the 15mm spacer and takes the 65mm bolts # 999 510 041 09.

What size triple square is that? I need to remove mine next on my 2002 C4 Cab. Thanks!

FYI. For anyone that wants to know, the triple square CV joint bolt is an M10.
