Porsche CAYMAN 987 - how to replace front and rear brake pads 911 BOXSTER 986 997 996

[@MarkCup70]

I forgot to add, you should loosen the brake fluid reservoir cap before pushing pads/pistons back into the caliper, and remember to tighten it back up again before driving away!

I have done brake-ads so often, but this spreader makes all the difference!

Another no nonsense, say it as it is video Mark. Well done!!

Interesting to see how the disks hold up 👌🏻

[@MarkCup70]

I can report Lewis that the disks look just fine, and despite the battering they took, remain straight and true.

Did occur to me that these pads may 'clean up' a disc suffering from surface corrosion, It seems to happen a lot on the inner faces of these Porsches, So it might be worth buying a set even for a road car and put them in occasionally for a couple of hundred miles.

Gratitude!

You're very welcome 👍

Nice one mark, where did you get that little stool from please be handy for me

[@MarkCup70]

SGS Engineering Steve, only a recent addition, seriously wish I'd got one years ago!

[@Trophy_R]

@@MarkCup70 I’ve just bought one off eBay mate £23 , got to be better than the floor, we need to meet up on a track day mate we would have a blast and get on well

Thanks, interested to hear how these do. I just bought some brembo (not sport) should I send them back?

[@MarkCup70]

I ran Brembo road pads on track and wore half the pad material away in one 12 minute session. Avoid.

Link for the pad spreader?

All about the drive, he says, then he takes the wheels off! :) haha Jokes, of course. Very handy video. It makes me think 'even I could do that' and I'm useless with tools... I can only imagine the mess I'd make of that job. haha

[@johnwh1039]

Ok but no mention of checking the reservoir level for risk of spillage despite pushing in the pistons on all 4 wheels. The fluid is corrosive to paint so really would have been a good idea to mention

[@b.vonschnauser207]

Sorry in advance for the criticism: You have a carpenter's hammer, and a friggin' sledge hammer at the ready for this job? Get rid of both and get yourself a proper 16 oz ball peen hammer. Jeez.........
