The Precision wrench has detachable gauge that can be used to loosen. Get a pipe to slide on when using as breaker bar for leverage.

So definitely dum question. The other center lock cars I have experience with have reverse threads on the right side, never used a torque wrench and never had an issue. Seems the GT3 has regular threats all around, it just took me 1.25 years to find out

Thanks

Do you guys use a tool for mounting and unmounting the wheels on the RS? I heard it might be difficult and if you hit the PCCBs they could break?

Something like this

Honestly, somebody makes and sells something that screws in for protecting the ceramics. literally looks like a big *****, but it is not a Porsche product.

The one I originally saw for sale here was black and hollow with a cap and a little pry tool for getting off the dust caps that was stored inside it. Anything with the right thread size will work to get the wheels clear of the PCCB rotor.
