WM 463620 Removing and installing front disc brake pads
Preliminary work
Remove wheel.
Removing front brake pads - 4-piston calliper
The core of the warning contact wire must not be left exposed. Worn insulation is not important.
If necessary, remove a little brake fluid from the reservoir by suction in order to prevent an overflow when the disc brake pads are pushed back.
1. Take off the securing clip and remove the retaining pin by pulling it inwards.
2. Pull out the warning contact wire on the brake calliper and remove the warning contacts from the brake pad plates.
3. Pull out the brake pads using the brake-pad puller. Always observe the following important points:
Press the brake pads back as far as possible using the piston resetting fixture.
Pull out brake pads together with the vibration dampers. If this is not possible (depending on the amount of wear on the brake pads), use a spatula to
detach the vibration dampers from the brake pad backing plate before removing the pads.

This can result in longer braking distances and more wear.
-> Use only the type-specific brake pads specified in the Porsche Spare Parts Catalogue.
Warning: Increased risk of accidents if old parts are fitted on brake calliper.
