Here’s a tutorial of changing rear brakes on a Porsche 996. I also explain how the parking brake adjuster works, and how it should be set. This also applies …

Off – because you adjust it so the wheel still spins.
Should the parking brake be “on” or “off” while performing this adjustment? Thanks!
great video! specially coming for a porsche! can you tell the name of the key used on the caliper bolts is it a special porsche aplication o just torx-bristol head?
Great ! Thank you for taking the time to help people all around the world!

If I forget to adjust the parking break will that cause the loud squeaking I’m getting right now when I’m driving?
Hiya, have you experienced Fat Blast Blueprint? (look it up on google) You will learn about the crimes we commit against ourselves. With Fat Blast Blueprint, you will discover how to burn fat quickly.
Alot of newer Porsches use wheel bolts rather than studs, makes it a little more difficult for wheel changes.
I’m 21, not a professional. And even I noticed that booboo ^ don’t let it hang like that. But still the video was informational.
Exactly my thought
figured it out, im a div, spacer washers in the wrong location……….. effective “doh!”
grt vid, though ive just experienced a strange one. MOT failure for the handbrake / parking brake. Went to adjust, all pads and shoes all good as I replaced them recently, however with the caliper off the brake disc rotates by hand, tighten the caliper back up and I cant move the wheel. This is even when the pads are still pushed out. !!???? Bizarre ??
Thanks for making these videos, they really help. You are a great teacher. keep em coming!
This helped me a lot, its the same for BMW e39
where are the wheel studs????
um, arent you supposed to support the caliper so it doesnt possibly crack the line hanging like that?
Two questions. 1 – Why leave so much drag on the parking brake? Won’t that prematurely wear the shoes? And two, I know you have a 951, is the parking brake setup the same on your 911 and your 951? I ask because I need to adjust the paring brake on my 944 2nd gen. Thanks. Good vid.
2 comments – first, when you are adjusting the parking brake, is the handle on the parking brake pulled all the way up, or not pulled at all? second, it would be great to see a video on a brake fluid flush on the 996 brakes. thanks!
I’m glad to hear this :- ) good video, was very helpful
You’ve totally left the brake caliper hanging by the brake fluid hose, this is mental, you’ve put excessive stress on the hose for no reason, that’s now put a risk of damage to the hose that’s not visible, risk of brake failure in the future… The caliper should be supported at all times when it’s off the disc usually by some kind of cables or string holding it…
i have to thanks mr svenson for nice videos !I own boxster and this help me alot to task my ownbrakes!!!,
