Changed the brake fluid in my 911 4S today. Used a Motive power bleeder. The only problem I had was the wrestling match I had with the huge rear tires.

If your car is equipped with a manual transmission be sure you flush and bleed the clutch slave cylinder.

Perhaps you need to hit the gym! J/K
Funny you brought this up, every time I put my wheels back on (swapped wheels the other day), I say to myself I should buy some wheel pins, but I never do.

Is using two wheel bolts/pins really that much better?
I've used a single wheel pin on my BMW and it was helpful but I only used it 1/2 of the time on a 17in wheel.

The rears are easy with the pins. I have a problem with the fronts because the hubs spin as you're trying to get the first lug in.

I replaced brake pads recently on my 997 and found the pins to be very helpful. I bought 2 from Sunset Porsche - they had the quickest shipping time for me.
Here is the part number: 999-571-074-30
There are also aftermarket options - you just need to match the threading + bolt size.

I got my wheel guide pin from Amazon. It is made of stainless steel and has a slight taper to the pin to hold the wheel in place as the wheel gets near the hub. Cost was $16.95 including shipping.
