paste) on the thread and between the bolt
head and movable spherical cap ring (arrows).
The bearing surface of the spherical cap
facing the wheel must not be greased.

Wheel Securing Bolts
If the wheels have to be removed at the workshop,
please do not forget to hand over the wrench
socket for the wheel securing bolts along with
the car key.
The wrench socket for the wheel securing bolts is
in the tool box.
To loosen or tighten the wheel bolt with anti-theft
protection, a wrench socket with the appropriate
coding must be used between the wheel bolt and
the wheel-bolt spanner.
When positioning the wrench socket, ensure
that it engages fully in the teeth of the wheel
bolt.
Note on operation
On vehicles with 17 mm spacers on the rear
axle, the wheels are secured with wheel nuts.
On request, separate anti-theft protection for the
wheel nuts can be mounted. Please consult an
authorized Porsche dealer.
