  2. Pull out the warning contact wire on the brake calliper and remove the warning contacts from the brake pad plates.

    Contrary to the illustration, there are no vibration balancers on the brake pads.

  3. Remove brake pads using the brake pad puller. Always observe the following important points:

Press the brake pads back as far as possible using the piston resetting fixture.

Pull out the brake pads together with the brake-piston damping plates (if present/Boxster S only). If this is not possible (depending on the amount of wear on the brake pads), use a spatula to detach the vibration dampers from the brake pad backing plate.
