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 

  1. Release holder for wear indicator connector on wheel carrier.
  2. Disconnect the speed sensor (ABS sensor).
  3. 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.
