Removing and installing the rear PCCB brake disc: 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!
  1. 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 3 remaining wheel bolts and remove the wheel carefully, without touching the brake discs.

  2. Subsequently (after the wheel is disassembled) remove the 2 assembly aids (assembly pins) again.
  3. With a screwdriver, turn the adjustment device towards "release" through a wheel bolt threaded hole.

  4. Set the brake pads back slightly with the piston resetting fixture.
  5. Open the plug connection on the wheel carrier and pull out the plug for the brake pad wear indicator.
  6. Remove the brake caliper from the wheel carrier and suspend it in the wheel arch (do not open brake hydraulics). First, pull out the electrical wires on the brake caliper holder and the brake pad wear wire on the wheel carrier holder.
  7. Take off the brake disc after removing the countersunk screws. If a stuck brake disc cannot be removed, evenly screw hexagon-head bolts into the two M8 threads of the brake disc, thereby pressing off the disc.
