Porsche 996 911 Front Brake Pad & Rotor Replacement DIY (1999-2005 Porsche 911 Carrera)

Porsche 996 911 Front Brake Pad & Rotor Replacement DIY (1999-2005 Porsche 911 Carrera)

►Porsche 996 front brake pad and rotor replacement is one of the most important DIY jobs you can complete on your car. 911s are made for spirited driving, and with that comes accelerated brake pad and rotor wear. Bringing your car to a shop or to the dealer every time it needs its brakes replaced will cost you a fortune, so doing it yourself at home will save you a ton of money in the long run.

To make your job even easier, we took the guesswork out of purchasing brakes for your upcoming brake job by creating an FCP Euro Porsche 996 front brake kit. In this kit, you will find new brake rotors, brake pads, brake pad wear sensors, brake pad shims, and all of the necessary hardware to do this job without interruption.

In today’s video, Michael Hidalgo, owner of this 1999 Porsche 996 911, shows us step-by-step how to replace the brake pads and rotors with minimal tools or effort.

Awesome video, thanks so much for this series! What's the deal with the sticker on the back of the shims? Is that grease under it?

Billy Jenkins says:

Do you have brake pads that low dust? Mine are horrible with dust right now

This 996 series of DIY videos is fantastic for us DIYers. I'm fairly competent with the tools so these videos give me the confidence to get on with a load of jobs that need doing on my own 996.1. Thank you from the UK.

Why are those caliper bolts one time use? 63 lbs/ft isn’t stretching the bolt.
