Porsche 993 Big Red Brake DIY Part 1/3 | DIY004

[@nickh1933]

Fantastic video Jakob! Every Thursday is worth looking forward to. Thank you for sharing your experiences with your 993 C4S. As I watch your artistic video productions I always come away inspired and energized! Keep up the great work friend!

[@911Percent]

Thanks so much!! That's so nice to read!! More adventures to come for sure! :)

[@carlitoxb110]

this is the tutorial with the best editing and camera work ever

[@911Percent]

Thanks so much for watching!! Cheers!

[@robertjagitsch2859]

Nice production quality and info. :) If caliper refinish isn't part of the plan I leave the brake lines in place and just support the caliper, that saves a lot of time and mess. Keep up the good work!

[@911Percent]

Thank you Robert! Definitely, if caliper work wasn't necessary, swapping pads shouldn't take longer than 5 minutes a corner! :)

[@laynewinter7353]

That's fair. I request that you make a video documenting the replacement of motor mounts :)

[@911Percent]

Ok, when I change mine I'll make a video for sure! Thanks again for watching! :)

[@sinoperture]

13 mins to upload latest track video. Oh what have we here? A new 911%! Nice edits and flow. Great vid!

[@911Percent]

YESSS! Thanks for watching PP! Thanks brother!! :)

[@kblaine123]

Insanely great editing and camera work, notwithstanding the content. Well done and thank you Sir !

[@911Percent]

Thank you Vegan Powered!!! Thanks for watching!

[@etc-and-more]

Another nice vid. I always thought this would be something like a 6 out of 10 but you make it so easy. Looks like I gotta get a big screen for the garage so I can follow step by step. Thanks!

[@911Percent]

Thanks Bob! It's probably a 6 haha..I'm running into snags! Just ran into a 500 dollar one haha. The damn brake pad slider clips should be replaced in the calipers and are $60USD a piece x 2 per caliper x 4 calipers FML. #porschetax

[@orr123]

i found this absolutely mesmerizing! A) the fact you have the tools and know how to do it B) the level of detail in video shot, attention to detail in the actual product. I cannot wait for Part 2 & 3!

[@911Percent]

Heh, thanks for watching and the nice comment! Stay tuned!

[@MrTokyoJoe1]

Jakob, when you first started making vids I subscribed way back when and I enjoyed them then but to look at the stuff you're making now - awesome and inspiring! You'd better finish this job as promised as I'm going out to get tools and parts this weekend! TJ

[@911Percent]

Thank you so much MrTokyoJoe1! These videos will be posted randomly unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to post the next DIY installment for at least a few weeks! Anyway, thanks again for watching! Take care!

[@jameseli5782]

This series is great - looking forward to see the rest of the process.

[@911Percent]

Thanks so much James! It's been quite the mission so far haha..:)

[@ktsince83]

Another class video! I'm a bit late this week lol. Noticed your subs have jumped up quite a bit, and that's awesome! Won't take you long to gain a lot more, as the videos are really pro quality. Thanks mate

[@911Percent]

Thanks so much Kev!! Best comments brother!! The channel is slowly creeping up! I hope to smash 5K soon lol

[@cariboo04]

Great first DIY video Jakob! Precise information and details, including text, speech and amazing background music - keep continuing this style and efforts, it's worthwhile for the ww 993 community and enthusiasts! And thank you for your time - I hope your family is ok with this :-)

[@911Percent]

Thanks for watching Daniel! I actually have a few DIY videos on the channel already; an Oil change video as well as a Transmission mount replacement video! This is just the first part of a 3 part series. Happy to hear you're enjoying these, and I'm happy to help out the 993 fam in one way or another! Cheers! (Family is asleep when my 911% shifts start, lots of sleepless nights my man, it's the grim side of KZbin haha).

[@mikemedic69]

Thanks Jacob! I have 993 - The Essential Companion and have read how to do this but lacked the courage to do it. After your vid it seems a lot clearer. I'm gonna give it a shot! Cheers!

[@911Percent]

Thanks so much for checking it out! Good luck tackling this, it's not very hard! I have that book too, it's amazing, but not very thorough as far as a step by step. Another great resource is the online Porsche 993 PET PDF that someone hosted. It's amazing to see all the components in exploded view with all part numbers. Take care! :)

[@Pjmperez01]

Finally a DIY vid!

[@911Percent]

woot! Thanks for watching!

[@perjanuschas8050]

Very nice Jacob! Very informative, especially the scale of difficulty for a novice DIY mechanic.. Now I can repeat this on my own 2003 996 C4S which I assume is almost 100% identical (the brakes that is of course ;-)). Thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@911Percent]

Thanks so much for watching and the comment!! The calipers are quite different on your car vs mine!! I bet the idea is the same, but you have a pin that holds your pads vs that spring on mine. Definitely cross reference a 996 DIY! Cheers!!

[@khaledlababidi]

Great video...was hoping parts 2&3 would have been up online

[@911Percent]

These take a long time to make vs the other videos. I just can't drop the ball with accuracy of information, etc. Stay tuned, I'll post them soon. :)

[@coffeerun7684]

Very brave to be doing all by your self. Congrats!!

[@911Percent]

Thank you so much for watching!! Bolts are bolts my friend! With the right specs it's quite simple to do! Cheers!

[@coffeerun7684]

Thank you for taking the time to respond and to be uploading such nice content! Keep'em coming!!!

[@911Percent]

Of course Tony! I try to respond to everyone. Thanks again for the support! :)

[@HeidiandFranny]

Super nice video as always! You make DIY really fun! I like how organized you are too with a place to put everything and even the hose plugs ready to go. You are the best! What do you think about soft line replacements at this time? Is that a thing now or maybe Next brake rebuild? Franny

[@911Percent]

Thanks guys!! Organization is key lol! My plan was to upgrade to stainless steel lines, but after reading a bit into it, it's a risky procedure to DIY. I will most likely get these done at a shop one day. The rubber lines on the car are all intact so pointless to change immediately. :)

[@ftlaud911]

Very nice DIY...you going to replace with SS lines? Heard that was tricky to do on the 993. Thank you for the videos. Very relaxing to watch. Good vibes. Keep em coming!!!

[@911Percent]

Yeah, at some point, but not in a rush to. I'll get those done at a shop to avoid possible damage of hard lines in the rear (a common occurrence).Thanks so much for watching! :)

[@khashayarrabbanian2747]

I love what you do and thank you for sharing but after watching a couple of your videos I believe I need another set of glasses :)) so many overexposures and so much focus change! Good luck with you lovely Porsche!

[@911Percent]

+Khashayar Rabbanian thanks for watching! Hopefully you do get those new glasses so you can keep watching future videos lol!! Cheers!

[@pierredemeulemeester4788]

Seriously...... awesome video dude!!!! It's clear and precise. I come from Belgium so my english isn't perfect but I just wanted to say: "perfect video" I'm registered on a big forum here in Belgium and France... I will try to share the video in order to have more views for you. Hope that can help

[@911Percent]

Thank you so much for helping spread the word and the nice comments!! THANK YOU!! :)

[@jonathangalloway6796]

Excellent work bud, if you can read you can near do anything. Belfast yo

[@911Percent]

Thanks so much Jonathan! It's true, this is why I love the web so much! Anything is possible! Cheers!!

[@flat6enthusiast619]

Great video! :)

[@911Percent]

THANKS!

[@laynewinter7353]

Love your videos. When are you going to post the next DIY?

[@911Percent]

Thanks, soon I hope. The DIY content I have to be extra careful with to ensure accuracy of info and so that they're usable for someone to follow along. These videos take a really long time to make. Stay tuned though, more to come for sure. :)

[@2000shellback]

Beautiful video! Even the penetrating oil oozing its way around the brake line was hypnotic. I would really like to know where you acquired the brake hose black rubber caps. Thank you once again!

[@911Percent]

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed it! Cheers!

[@jacobsnell4370]

Awesome! Thanks Jakob

[@911Percent]

Thanks Jacob!!! :)

[@andreallen2372]

Great video thank you

[@911Percent]

Thanks for watching Andre!! Cheers!

[@highbrow76]

top job!

[@911Percent]

Thanks for watching!

[@salvissmudo4496]

The brake discs did look fine (at least from video) :) Did you measure them before deciding to change them? Great video as always!

[@911Percent]

They looked fine, but they're not. The previous owner (flipper/importer) changed out pads without machining the rotors so the contact wasn't the greatest. There aren't any cracks, and I'm sure they're still within thickness spec, however they're grooved up all over. I wanted to start fresh with all new components. Thanks for watching!!!

[@evolutionnine11jboccuzzi15]

Great job!! This will be an asset when I do the brakes on my 993!!

[@911Percent]

Sweet! Glad this will come in handy! Thanks for watching, as always!! :)

[@Cevan42]

I made fun of your music in one of your other videos but gotta say well done on the editing. Just flushed the brake fluid on my '86 Carrera.

[@911Percent]

LOL. Nice! Did you use a Powerbleeder?

[@Cevan42]

911Percent vacuum bleeder then finished it off with the traditional two person method.

[@911Percent]

Cool, I'm doing the same with a Motive Powerbleeder, but going to do a dry method with two people. I wish there was an easier way. :)

[@grants4677]

Great job as always, I'll be following your lead in a few months, my calipers are long overdue for a repaint. Our cars are long lost twins, mine's also a '96 c4s in midnight blue metallic with a . My 4s is in the middle of a conversion to a RWD 2s-like car for a more spirited drive on the track. This will require a new LSD etc... I'm having the frame straightened (it was shunted in it's earlier life) Of course the clutch, ignition wires and shifter will be upgraded/replaced at the same time. I'll let you know how it feels after the conversion. Because this car has a history I don't feel terrible lightly modifying it. I can't wait to get it back, they're incredible cars. instagram me for more images of your Vancouver twin - grants911

[@911Percent]

Sounds like a great car!!! Congrats! Thanks for watching!!! I'm going to disconnect the front diff/wheels on my 4S one day for the weekend to see if I like it :)

[@jg5529]

For the love of god, get some gloves

[@911Percent]

K will do. thanks for looking out!
