The caliper's s are absolutely...
... NOT threaded.
They can't be, otherwise you could not get them tight enough because you could never align the threads on he caliper with the threads on the wheel carrier.
The only threads are on the bolts and on the wheel carrier.
Sometimes calipers seem to have threads, but that's just the bolt's threads have embossed the paint.

BTW the person in that dealership that gave you that information is totally wrong.

Happy Boxstering,
Pedro
