Removing and installing the front disc brake pads - GT2 / Turbo with PCCB: Removal

CAUTION: PCCB (Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake): Danger of material damage during wheel removal/installation (danger of damage to brake discs)! Use assembly aids (assembly pins) in order to exclude any possibility of heavy contact of the wheel with the brake disc! The assembly aids (2 assembly pins) are located in the luggage compartment!

Screw the 2 assembly aids (assembly pins), instead of 2 wheel bolts, into the wheel hub before wheel removal/installation. During removal, first remove the three remaining wheel bolts and remove the wheel carefully, without touching the brake discs.

Pull out the warning contact wire on the brake caliper and remove the warning contacts from the brake pad plates.
NOTE:
- Replace warning contacts if the core of the wire is worn or worn through!
- The warning contact can continue to be used if there are only scrape marks on the plastic part of the warning contact!
- If necessary, remove some brake fluid by suction from the brake fluid reservoir (brake fluid may escape over the rim of the container)!
Set back the brake pads as far as possible with the piston resetting fixture (press back)!
Pull out brake pads together with the damper plates (remove). If this is not possible (depending on wear of the brake pads), use a spatula to detach the damper plates from the brake pad backing plate before removing the pads.
