I used a pencil sharpener and sharpened a piece of wood, then lined it with a couple layers of latex glove. Used it as a plug!!

Oh ya,,,I flattened the tip slightly on the piece of wood. You do not want it to go through the rubber glove [latex]. Hope that helps!

Cool Brakes done

Just thought I would touch base with everyone about the front damper seized. I
cleaned up both ends of the damper as well as the rest of the dampers front and back. Added some very thin double sided tape [This tape was clear when the covers were removed] to the areas that had adhesive before.
Re $ re front / back rotors and pads from stop tech [street performance].Replaced brake fluid. Bedded the pads as per instructions from stoptech.
Braking as good as stock or better. Note, I do not race the car it is a daily driver. 2007 C4S The brake dust is the same as stock.
It has been a month now and no squeeks at all. I paid half the price for parts compared to direct from Porsche.
Thanks again for your input!!


CHEERS!!
