  • Save big money by changing your brake pads and rotors yourself on your Porsche. This video I’ll be going though a step by step in changing brake pads and rotors on the rear wheels of a Porsche 911 Carrera 991.1. I’ll even show you how to safely jack up your 911. This should cover many other 911’s like the 997, 987,986,996, Porsche Macan, Cayman and more models.
    The material cost was roughly $600. The Porsche dealer quoted me a modest $1500. With this DIY I saved $900 and it wasn’t difficult.
    I ordered the following from Suncoast Parts…
    www.suncoastparts.com/
    Rear Rotor Set - Set of Genuine Porsche rotors left and right side
    Rear brake Pad Set - Set of Genuine Porsche
    Caliper Bolts - Rear set of 4 factory replacement caliper bolts
    Brake Pad Sensors - rear set factory replacement brake pad sensors
    Other items ordered;
    Black Wheel Hanger Alignment Pin Guide Tool:
    Torque Wrench
    Find the Wheel hangar and Torque Wrench here and shop for products I use and recommend on my Amazon Storefront….

    Great Job and Tutorial; But please change @ 5:27min the 10mm HexBit to a 55 TORX (Star). Then you will get the Bolts out easily without running the risk of stripping them and most important when you but the Calipers back on, the Tourque will be applied correctly ;-)

    Thanks to your video instructions, I changed the rear pads, rotors and sensors on my 991.1 C4S this morning! My Porsche dealer here in Las Vegas wanted $2,200 for the rear break service! I bought everything from FCS euro for $600 shipped, and everything went as you described. Thank you for saving me a ton of money, sir!!
    Spark plugs next, and BTW, I did an oil/filter change too by following your video.

    Yes 911s are stiff and that's part of the reason the front comes up when jacking, but the larger reason they come up on front is because the weight is in back and the way the suspension is tuned. Try lifting the front of the car and see if the same thing happens.
    Some of my other front engine cars also do this but when I jack up the front. Admittedly those are also sportier cars with very sporty suspension.

    anti-seize or locktite on the small rotor bolt? Did I see blue stuff on the tip?

    • @how2togo
      @how2togo  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Locktite on the side bolts. Anti seize on the small screw. That screw is just for manufacturering and when you take the wheel off so the rotor doesnt fall off. Once the wheel bolts are on this hold the rotor and the wheel.

    Doesn’t look like you had the car in parking brake service mode. I guess if you don’t there’s nothing to calibrate when done?

    • @hnng3919
      @hnng3919 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Is there such thing ? The parking looks like it has its own pads behind the rotor, and if this is true, the parking brake just electronically pulls the cable to expand the pads. Subaru cars with epb work this way. Mazda epb actually activate the pistons so they have the service mode like you mentioned. I’m not sure though, someone please confirm.thx

    Don't forget to clean new rotor surface with brake parts cleaner when installing. There is a anti corrosion coating that needs to be removed.

    • @pcsullog

      There is no grease or anything you can remove from those ones as they have the grey zinc coating.

    Great video! They want $5k at the dealership where I am in the great white North for rotors and pads.
    So, there’s no need for any bleeding of the brake fluid even after opening the brake fluid cap?

      @@how2togo I know, it is crazy! $600 for an oil change. But I’ve done them myself since I’ve been out of warranty.

      Sorry, noob question, when do you have to bleed brakes?

    • @how2togo
      @how2togo  ปีที่แล้ว

      I haven't done my fronts yet but I would think roughly the same. Porsche recommends bleeding brakes every 2 years.

    • @Edgy01
      @Edgy01 ปีที่แล้ว

      You should really bleed brake fluid (which includes the hydraulics for the clutch) every year. It largely depends upon where you live. Since b fluid is hydroscopic it will absorb water from a high humidity environment. If you live in a dry area you can push the numbers more to the right.
