Removing rear disc brake pads

WARNING: Danger of accident if brake pads of the wrong quality are installed.

This can result in longer braking distances and more wear.

→ Use only the type-specific brake pads in the Porsche Spare Parts Catalogue.

The core of the warning contact line must not be left exposed! Worn insulation is not significant !

If necessary, remove a little brake fluid from the expansion tank by suction to prevent overflow when the disc brake pad is pushed back!
