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.
Great video and very helpful. One comment though -- the pads don't normally slide out after you compress the pistons because the dampers are usually bonded to the back of the pads with self adhesive. It's not easy to separate the dampers from the pads because of the adhesive material, so the solution is to remove the caliper first, then there is enough space to clear the dampers for the pads to come out.
May I add when doing this project the pins holding spring clip which help hold the brake pads may be severely corroded. It’s best to remove this pin prior to removing the caliper as you might cause damage to the brake line especially doing the front pads. It took a 10 pound sledge hammer to remove 2 of my pins. I used emery cloth to clean them up, then applied anti-seize to the pin prior to reinserting the pin.

Thanks for the video. Very good explanations and video. Did the job today with no problems at all.
Great DIY Michael!
Watched the video to the end and it was very easy to follow and understand!
Thanks FCP, about to do this job with a buddy and take a road trip down the PCH to LA this weekend 🤙
Love the 996 DIYs. Having done Brake Jobs only on floating calipers so far. This gives me confidence I can tackle fixed one just as well.
Great Video Michael!

That was an excellent tutorial.

great vid! clear and easy to follow. thank you!
Outstanding video work and talk. Thanks!
Have the exact model and year and color 996 that you are working on…awesome 👍
Great video. Thanks.
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?
It's a light adhesive.
What I would like to know is where I can find the t-shirt Michael is wearing in the video.
I did this. Afterwards I started and now I'm receiving a PCM, ABS, and replace pad lights. I've tried all solutions online.
Why are those caliper bolts one time use? 63 lbs/ft isn’t stretching the bolt.
Great question Klaus! This is per Bentley Publishers manual.
Do you have brake pads that low dust? Mine are horrible with dust right now
They offer Akebono pads they are great for very low dust
