They were in there tight as hell. Must replace them...any idea if there is a repair kit out there that would include these plugs, o-rings for the calipers, etc?

Porsche 914 uses almost the identical ATE caliper. http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/914_caliper_rebuild/914_caliper_rebuild.htm Ron R (Ronr) Junior Member Username: Ronr Post Number: 115 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 7:57 pm:    Drilling and screwing.

JRV (Jrvall) Member Username: Jrvall Post Number: 801 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 9:44 am:    Yep...that's the plug I'm reffering to... Destroy it????? Why would you destroy it ? Drill a small hole and pry/pop it out or insert a small sheet metal screw in the drilled hole and pull it out via lever action. Jerry W.

If so, do you have to destroy it to get it out? JRV (Jrvall) Member Username: Jrvall Post Number: 796 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 8:12 am:    It's held in with a snap ring accessed by removing the upper 'cap'.
