Porsche Panamera Front Brake Replacement; In Depth, How to

[@dantem306]

Dude I binged your videos already! Great content, keep it up. I used to ignore the Panameras because of their styling but they really grew on me over the years.

[@mr_jaimebasurto]

I appreciate these videos. Me and my wife are motivated to finally get our Panamera after watching your videos.

[@paulreynolds9003]

I’ve been looking to buy the panamera 2014, I really wanted a 911 but the price have gone through the roof at the moment. But for the money I think they are really good value. Over here in England they are going for around £27000 pounds with full service history and 50,000 miles. Thanks for the videos they are very helpful.

[@mikeshorsepowergarage7577]

Thanks for Watching! Right now the prices on first gen Panamera's are starting to go up a little. With the announcement that the future of the Panamera will be electric. I feel that prices will go up even more.

[@luiscar1090]

In Spain around 40/45 thousand € , its crazy Im going to buy one, 2009, 970 4S, around 145k kms and 35 thousand € ....... but it doesn't looks old , I think its a very good car

[@barrosmartins7123]

The Panamera is Porsche solid product … and the 970 and 971 opened the gen with pretty good engines and specs. 20:20

[@barrosmartins7123]

Just got one 10/2014 ( 2015 ) diesel around 100k miles

[@Darachay]

Very helpful videos . With this inflation and labor pricing and shortage I have to learn to do everything myself these days.

[@Legendary_C_Lee]

You should keep this movement going and buy the next generation. 2017 and higher I enjoy these videos

[@thomashelm6931]

I have the exact same car! Color, everything. I have not seen your interior, but I'm very pleased with mine! I stumbled upon this supplier accidentally. I was hoping these would be the guys that you used to purchase from. And, as you know, not just brakes, but many other components for people that wish to work on their vehicle.

[@huto9362]

Thanks for the video! Very informative. Btw... torque for the M14 brake caliper bolts on the front-wheel is 140 nm. On the M12 rear-wheel caliper bolts it is 85 nm. Greetings from Germany!

[@sgrujic1985]

Great content... planing to buy panamera, and your videos will help me cut the maintenance cost.... thanks! Keep it up!

Awesome video brother. I just changed the front brakes on my 2020 Panamera. Thanks a lot! God Bless!

Great video on brake maintenance for the Panamera. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work, appreciate you, your time and effort.

[@JpRiccio]

Great work Mike!

[@saddlehorncove]

Awesome Job. Good content sir.

[@yuexiong9205]

Can you provide the links to each of the parts? I am having a hard time finding the sensors and bolts

[@mr_jaimebasurto]

Hey Mike thanks for the video. I see my pads wasted by the rotors are still fine. Can I just change the pads or I need to change the pads and rotor at the same time? Maybe dumb question but I trully dont know how to proceed

[@e.rsmith4494]

Hahaha! I ordered the same R1 Concept rotors but I returned them after receiving them because they did not look like the ones advertised and just ordered the Zimmerman front rotors. Thanks for the vid! Time to change my front rotors on the Panamera now. 👍

[@AMS611]

pretty thorough diy, thanks

[@MRTransactionEngineer]

Awesome video! Thanks

[@mt19426]

Great video! One thing I noticed is that your previous set of brake rotors were on the opposite side of where they should've been. The marks on the slots should face backwards. Your new rotors are installed correctly (handy L and R markings).

[@mikeshorsepowergarage7577]

Great eye

[@scotdoc]

Get the factory pins that you screw in and pull they calipers out onto. They’re not expensive & make the job soooo much easier 😊👍🏻

[@mikeshorsepowergarage7577]

Thanks. I didn't know there was such a thing.

[@PSYCH20091977]

Thank you so much for this. I have a 2010 as well. Only issue I came across was the bolts on the caliper were different than the video. I had my T14 ready to go I had to run out and get a torx socket.

[@mikeshorsepowergarage7577]

Porsche has changed the bolt heads a couple times. Thanks for Watching!

[@1231cjh]

Thanks for the video! Can you tell me what size/type sockets you used to remove the caliper bolts, along with any other special tools needed to replace both the front and rear pads and rotors?

[@russellbrown9655]

thanks for the video. I have a 2011 S, love the car, not so much when I have to go to a mechanic (I say porsche and they say twice as much)

[@BeardAxeMcAxeBeard]

Great video. Thank you sir! I'm about to tackle this myself as well

[@mikeshorsepowergarage7577]

Thanks for watching!

[@thevisiongetsitdone7636]

Thank you how what sockets are you using to get the bolts off to remove caliper front & rear

[@primohXV]

The didn’t video didn’t mentioned the socket size needed to get the caliper bolts off. Does anyone know what it is ?

[@dolemitewil3503]

Mike I enjoy your videos, I want to do do a brake job on my panamera 2011, v8 4s ,where did you buy the parts from? I want to order them and get start.

Outstanding video, what type of exhaust system do you have ? Sounds pretty good..

[@mikeshorsepowergarage7577]

Stock exhaust with Magna Flow mufflers. Thanks for Watching!

[@kpletz1126]

Love the exhaust sound! Just bought a 2012 4S and the exhaust sound is unimpressive. Mike, what did you do to get that exhaust note?

[@mikeshorsepowergarage7577]

Removed stock mufflers and had Magna Flow's put in. Thanks for Watching!

[@kpletz1126]

Which Magnaflow did you go with? Quiet at cruising sooed?

Another great video, will you be posting the video for the rear pads as well?

[@mikeshorsepowergarage7577]

Rear brake video is posted. Thanks for watching!

[@avophagusa]

Hello! My question isn't related to front break, but maybe you can give me some advice. I went to a garage and asked them to replace valve cover gasket (Panamera 2010 4S). They said, in order to replace it is needed to remove the engine as the rear bolts are not accessible otherwise. Is it true?

[@mikeshorsepowergarage7577]

Engine doesn't need to come out. I had the cam bolt recall done which requires the valve covers to come off and they didn't pull the engine. Thanks for watching!

[@Bambi89isPK]

Hey mate. Really beautiful car! In fact actually my dream car and I am informing myself about it because in the near future I think I'm going to pull the trigger on one used. What did you find about the running costs, maintenance costs, thirst of this car, etc...? Possible to compare it to a newer E class or BMW 5 series, or around there? Best regards from Germany

[@mikeshorsepowergarage7577]

Check out my video, where I cover my 3 years cost of ownership. It should answer your questions. Thanks for watching!

[@traceywschnebly450]

Is there a wear sensor for each pad or just per caliper?

[@mikeshorsepowergarage7577]

Each pad

[@maciejol1482]

are bare feet necessary when replacing brake discs? :-) Great vid! thanks for sharing

[@mikeshorsepowergarage7577]

Not a requirement. Just more comfortable for me when working on the ground.😉

[@richiec9077]

What type of tool do you need for the two caliper bolts ?

[@mikeshorsepowergarage7577]

It's covered in the Video

[@richiec9077]

@@mikeshorsepowergarage7577 well I obviously missed that part or you're talking shite , thanks for your useless response anyway. Why not just reply saying which tool it is? I'm assuming you watched it again given the confidence when you say "it was covered in the video".

[@hayabusa27]

Is it the same procedure to replce the carbon ceramic brakes

[@mikeshorsepowergarage7577]

I would think it's the same procedure. The brakes should attach relatively the same way.

[@renauddubois3553]

Can you mention the reference of the brakes you are using ? And the cheap junk one ?

[@mikeshorsepowergarage7577]

I bought Sebro brand brakes from www. autohausaz.com. The cheap brakes I was using were from Q1 concepts. Thanks for watching!

[@mikeshorsepowergarage7577]

@@splater591 I didn't need to, I didn't touch any of the parking brake components when changing the rear brakes. I left the parking brake off before the disassembly which allowed me to remove the rear rotor. Everything worked fine after reassembly.

@@mikeshorsepowergarage7577 same as i did, i already had done the work before i read from somebodys problems without calibrating it - yesterday i did a test and my break was working without any problems - but maybe good to know for others that there could be issues - Thank you for your tutorial - helped me a lot !

[@ronc875]

Hi your video was very good but I’m a little worrying to see that your not wearing a face mask when cleaning the brake dust from the brake discs

[@mikeshorsepowergarage7577]

I washed the brakes first to remove the loose dust. Then I was using a liquid cleaner. The dust was contained in the liquid solution. No dust was air born as far as I can tell. Thanks for watching and for your concern.

How many miles on your car?

Great video but buy a proper caliper separator/compressor.

Definitely would have made it easier with the Six Piston Calipers

[@Jay4yoursenses]

Rag Baseball classic tee ? Lol

[@ayethegoat]

Could I buy different brand rotors and break pads and still be able to replace them? I plan on buying brembo rotors and textar brake pads

[@mikeshorsepowergarage7577]

As long as that rotors are designed to fit the hub.

Is the car completely off? Did you have to fiddle w jackmode?
