Removing Front Brake Disc
WARNING:
Installation of brake pads with the wrong brake pad quality
- Longer braking distance
- More wear on brake pads
→ Only use the type-specific brake pads listed in the Porsche Parts Catalogue.
→ Replace the brake pads when the brake pad wear indicator light comes on, but no later than when there is a residual pad thickness of 2 mm on each axle.
→ Replace the brake discs on each axle as soon as the brake pad wear limit is reached.
Information
- In order to gain better access for removal of the brake calliper, it is beneficial to turn the wheels fully either to the right or the left.
- Release holder for wear indicator connector on wheel carrier.
- Disconnect the speed sensor (ABS sensor).
- Push brake pads back slightly and evenly using the piston resetting fixture Nr.144 (-Direction arrow-) . Make sure that no brake fluid runs out of the supply tank - drain it if necessary.
- Undo brake calliper on wheel carrier and hang it in a suitable place in the wheel well (do not open the brake hydraulics!).
- Remove brake disc after unscrewing the fastening screw. If necessary, remove the brake disc by hitting it gently with a rubber hammer.
