Porsche Cayenne Turbo 958 Front Brake Rotors and Pads Replacement

[@roguetrader0585]

The best video for 958 owners! You are right, none of the other videos even mention disabling the air suspension

+@roguetrader0585 thanks! 🍻

Thank GOD someone with a Turbo 958 actually made a DIY on the brakes! I also have a 2011 Turbo and just finally was even able to find a decent price and availability on the hard-to-find, expensive and HUGE front 390mm rotors lol! Great video, love starting off letting everyone know about putting the air suspension into jack mode and going over your tools. I was following guides on non Turbo models when I was buying the parts and tools I needed, and I think I bought some of the wrong stuff since I thought we needed a 14mm triple square, but those were the non-Turbo models... and none of the other videos or DIY write up guides online talk about bleeding the brakes with new fluid at the end. Sigh.

+@elcolin_ haha glad it helped!

[@achimo.9917]

Great job and thanks for spending so much effort in detailed explanation. My last step would be checking the brake fluid reservoir!

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@achimo.9917 yes, thanks! 🍻

That was a great video. Very helpful. Made my 958.2 TT brake swap a breeze! Two comments: You need to invest in a pair of caliper assembly pins! I got mine on FCSEuro and it made supporting and aligning the calipers sooo much easier. Also, for those who don’t have wheel studs, a wheel hangar bolt serves the same purpose when mounting a rotor as it does mounting wheels.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@gaspasser19 thank you! 🍻

[@svagisen]

Thanks for the great video! Which wheel stud conversion did you use?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@svagisen you’re welcome! Just got one from FCP Euro I think

[@ohlordhavemercyonme]

Can you provide an update on the set of rotors/brake pads? Would like to know the results re: brake dust, squeaking, and any difference in bringing the CTT to a complete stop.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@ohlordhavemercyonme Sure! No squeaking at all, low brake dust, and great bite when stopping! Absolutely no complaints or problems.

[@ArrowheadGarage]

Dan are those the 380mm $700 rotors????

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@ArrowheadGarage I don’t remember but they were not inexpensive 😂

[@Russeroo]

Thank you. Genuinely really helpful. Doing my front pads tomorrow/today now. Not sure I have the t60 bit though so no doubt will need to buy one. Not come across ‘triple square’ bits before. It’s a 2013 UK spec car I’m doing so not sure which I’ll need.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@Russeroo glad to help! 🍻

[@ep9321]

360s or 390s? I have 2011 turbo as well, getting ready to change the breaks.

[@elcolin_]

Ooo what kind of head unit / screen setup are you using? Any DIY writeups on that?!

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@elcolin_ I love the head unit, but don’t know anything about it because it came like that when I bought it. I’ll research it one day and make a video about it I’m sure.

[@Mellowbiker]

Why do you have wheel studs on a Cayenne? I have them on my track car, but not sure what the benefit would be for a SUV.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@Mellowbiker same as a track car… makes wheel removal and replacement easier.

[@kerkoroff]

I was going to order shw rotors for my gts but left rotor is out of stock in every store I looked. Also zimmerman are out of stock. What a shame that not many aftermarket companies make 390mm rotors for cayenne’s

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@kerkoroff ah bummer! I assume you checked the link in the description for ECS Tuning?

[@scotten34]

Your brakediscs are 390mm, not 360mm. But Thanks for the super cool video

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@scotten34 yeah I think I slipped and said 360 once but the correct 390 other times. Thanks for the correction

[@scotten34]

@@HelpMeDIY I love the 390 mm.. Looks like a boss

[@petersli8343]

I think it's much better if you can clean the calibers as well so that you can avoid squeals of brakes.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@petersli8343 I can update you and let you know the brakes are working great with no noise at all 😁
