[@tjm3roundrock]

Thanks for an informative video Jakob. Discussing the bedding process at the end was smart - an important action. Cheers from Round Rock, Texas.

Bedding is so important!!

[@vintageappeal]

Love how organized and detail this DIY is. Definitely taking some pointers from you. Keep it up man!

[@911Percent]

Thank you so much Vintage Appeal!! Take care! :)

[@jameseli5782]

Great Video - You do an excellent job of describing the process and capture a lot of helpful visuals. I love the look of the big red front rotor hats.

[@911Percent]

Thanks James!!! :) Yeah those floating hats look so awesome when they're new!

[@tesbarnett45]

You are the real deal my friend... Great job!

[@911Percent]

Thanks!

[@JimZRyd]

Awesome🎉. I know you are glad to have that behind you. Loved the way you laid out everything prior to beginning. Nice to know I’m not the only one that OCD🤪

[@911Percent]

Thanks for watching!! Yeah, damn, so happy it's over...until next weekend when I pull the calipers and send them out to get redone. :)

[@sk4256]

Thanks for sharing. I have to change the fluid soon so it was great to see this. Thanks again! Sk in the UK.

[@911Percent]

Thanks for watching. Hope it helps.

Super great video! This is coming up on our car. I like the dry method. Anything goes crazy you don't have brake fluid everywhere! Really enjoyable to watch! Did you have to adjust the rear parking brake shoes? Franny

[@911Percent]

Thank you so much for watching! Yeah dry method is key! There is also a way to modify it so that it pulls fluid from the ATE can...But I don't mind the way it is now. Yes, had to back out the e-brake shoes a little for the new rotor to come on. Thanks again!

[@MatthewMorseCA]

Great series, Jakob! Definitely a thorough and detailed DIY for us 993'ers. Maybe a follow-up on how the brakes are feeling during and through break-in this season? Cheers! -M@

[@911Percent]

Yeah, good idea! I'll mention it in a future driving video for sure. This brake job was done last spring, so I have a few thousand miles on the new parts already - they are glass smooth and have alarmingly good stopping power. Also no squeal despite not running the "anti-squeal-spiders". Thanks for watching!!

[@loveraindown]

Excellent video! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@911Percent]

Thanks!

[@mcexley001]

Nice job, Jakob. Makes it really clear how to complete this project. When are you sending the calipers out for professional refinishing? Before driving season, I hope.

[@MatthewMorseCA]

That was my question as well... I was looking to see if you decided to send them out this winter and get them blasted and refinished with the decals... that is on my list in a year or two!

[@911Percent]

Hey guys, I'm sending them out -- (dropping them off at a local calliper shop) to get blasted and refinished with the Porsche logos very soon. I have to pull them off still, plan is to do it this weekend. The shop needs a week so I should be good. I'm not going to film the disassembly or assembly, so it will go 15x faster lmao! Thanks for watching! Take care!

[@911pablo6]

Congratulations! Great job! 👍

[@911Percent]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@freerkderuiter8822]

Good job!

[@911Percent]

Thank you.

[@topgunm]

Great job and nice documentation! Why did you go Big Reds? Do you drive the car on track with slicks to need the little extra cooling vs the stock callipers? I have the Big Reds on mine, but it's 90% in the pads in regards to heat/fading. Installing some Pagid RS29s tomorrow, hopefully that will give me a hard pedal after many laps!

[@911Percent]

Thanks! Big Reds are the stock brakes on the 993 C4S and Turbo models. I swapped just OE Genuine parts. :)

[@bustdnukl7041]

Jacob, 1) what did you use to cap the brake lines to prevent brake fluid leakage while working the calipers? where can I purchase? 2) What is the material you've applied to the hub before assembling the rotor, copper paste?

[@bustdnukl7041]

Awesome video and organizational skills made easy to follow, replicate brake work

[@stdenis25]

What’s the temp spec on that copper anti seize? There are products more specific to that application. When copper anti seize heats up it gets everywhere and is a mess

[@911Percent]

Up to 1800F. I think it’s ok. Never had an issue in many applications with this Permatex product.

[@K1dPhresh1]

Ha!!! I have the same "Do you even lift?" shirt in green. I was a little confused that the brakes were suddenly off the car again until the end of the video. I remember the brake job last year and that you were going to get the powder coated, i believe this year sometime. Spinning that rear caliper on seems like it has a high potential for cross threading. Man!! That brake fluid was clean. How long had that been in there? I suppose you were about to discern the old from the new, but it must've not be in there too long.

[@911Percent]

Ha, yeah man, love this shirt. It's so ratty now - it became my garage shirt. Yeah so this video was filmed last summer...I lost a bunch of footage of the bleeding and the actual road test (bummer), so I had to refilm me talking to put it all into context at the end..... Calipers are coming off next weekend to get redone. I'm stoked.. Thanks for watching!

[@sheapublishing]

If you had the choice of buying a 993 Turbo or a 997 Carrera GT3RS for the same price, similar miles.. What would you buy?

[@911Percent]

Touch choice...really tough choice. If I could only have one it would be a 993TT. (But it's so hard for me to make that decision - I LOVE the 997.1 GT3RS! Especially in that green! :O Thanks for watching!

[@francisluu]

Best part - laying out all of the parts on a bunch of neatly-placed shop towels divided into the four quadrants for each corner of the car. Bonus: all parts sit perpendicular to each other!

[@911Percent]

Organization is key bro. Thanks for watching!

[@sheapublishing]

Maybe 20k miles
