Removing Front Brake Disc
- 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.
- Risk of damage to (ceramic) brake discs
→ Use two assembly pins when removing and fitting the wheel.
→ Carefully guide the wheel towards the wheel hub, thereby preventing any heavy impact on the (ceramic) brake disc.
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 retainer for plug of wear indicator on wheel carrier.
- Disconnect the speed sensor on the ABS sensor.
- Push brake pads back slightly and evenly using brake piston resetting fixture 9472.
- 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 tapping it gently with a rubber hammer.
