While I was under the car, I also adjusted the parking brake cables.

Then onto the last wheel. Like the last one, this had a pretty solid coating of brake crud.

The first application of Iron-X made a big purple mess.

And the outside, too. These are certainly not concours, but will do. At least now I get head back to the tire shop.

Man, if I had one of those "dry ice" detailers close by, I'd give him a shot at cleaning up the backsides of these wheels.
Hard to believe that stuff is on there so hard.

Nasty stuff, and harder than brass (I tested a brass bristle brush in a small spot).

Where I live, fancy stuff like dry ice is never close by. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Gotcha.
The backsides of your wheels are now more than presentable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Good job there.

For the outer adjuster, I have the perfect wrench: a Facom socket wrench. This has an open end to allow the Allen wrench through.

I need one of those Facom wrench's because.........well just because. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Here's one source:

I bought 8mm, 10mm, and 13mm when I lived in France in the 80s. That covers 99% of Porsche hardware, but now I want to fill in the rest--like you said just because.

I did one more round of brake bleeding, and saw at least one good sized air bubble come out. I think I am done with bleeding until I can road test.

Then I decided to fix something that has been bothering me. On the rear bumper, the fit is not equal from side to side. Here is the left that looks good, with the rubber tight against the body and the chrome showing about 5/8 inch gap.

But on the right side, the rubber is off the body work, and the gap along the chrome is about an inch--enough to see behind the bumper.

I took the bumper off, and removed the dog bone. It is about 7/8 inch thick.
