Installing Front Disc Brake Pads
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 Spare Parts Information.
- Replace the brake pads when the brake pad wear warning 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 disc wear limit is reached.
WARNING:
Old mounting parts fitted on the brake calliper
- Reduced braking effect
- Risk of damage to the brake calliper
- Fit new pad retaining springs.
- Fit new fastening screws.
Information
- The back of the pad backing plates must not be greased.
- Disc brakes must be clean and free of grease.
- The core of the warning contact line must not be exposed! Insulation that is just worn, on the other hand, is not important.
- If you intend to re-use the brake pad wear indicator: Convert brake pad wear indicator from the old brake pads to suit the new brake pads.
- Installation is performed in reverse order to removal.
Use new pad retaining spring and new fastening screws.
