WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2004 Porsche Boxster, 2003 Porsche Boxster, 2002 Porsche Boxster, 2001 Porsche Boxster, and 2000 Porsche Boxster. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the front wheel. Open the plug connection on the wheel carrier (arrow) and pull out the plug for the brake pad wear indicator. Unclip the electrical cable on the spring strut. See Fig 1 .
- Undo the holder for the brake hose/brake line on the wheel carrier. Undo the brake caliper on the wheel carrier and place or secure it in a suitable place. (Do not open the brake hydraulics).
- Take off the brake disc after removing the countersunk screws. If a stuck brake disc cannot be removed by gentle tapping with a plastic hammer, evenly screw hexagon-head bolts into the two M8 threads of the brake disc, thereby pressing off the disc.
