Removing And Installing The Front Disc Brake Pads: Installation: Notes

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.

If necessary, turn the piston back to its original position with the resetting fixture.
Insert the brake pads. Ensure correct brake pad quality.

NOTE:

The brake pad quality on the front and rear axles differs. Front axle: Galfer. Rear axle: Textar.

Fit new spreading spring, new holding pin and new retainer (retaining clip). See Figure . These parts are available as a repair set and must be "renewed" each time the pads are replaced.
Insert the warning contact line and warning contacts.
Firmly press the brake pedal with the vehicle stationary so that the brake pads assume their fit in accordance with the operating state. Next, check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
