Installing Front Disc Brake Pads

→ Fit new pad retaining springs

→ Fit new fastening screws

→ 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 

• The back of the pad backing plates must not be greased. 
• Check disc brakes for wear. For details of wear limits see → 465102 CHECKING FRONT PCCB BRAKE DISCS (WEAR ASSESSMENT) .
• Disc brakes must be clean and free of grease. 
• The core of the warning contact wire must not be left exposed! Worn insulation is not important. 
• If necessary, remove a little brake fluid from the reservoir by suction in order to prevent an overflow when the disc brake pads are pushed back. 
• Use a new repair kit.
