Brake Pad Change

[KansaSCaymanS]

I may have had the cover off the resevoir, but I have also been able to spread the calipers without opening it as well. The 8" pliers provide enough leverage when steady pressure is applied against the pads, to push the pistons in.

The hardest part for me was always pushing the pistons into the calipers, I am surprised you did it by hand with pliers !? Did you remove the cap off the break fluid reservoir !? Or was the line open, since you were going to bleed the fluid anyway !?

Hey I noticed that you didn't use any noise dampeners, did use experience any squealing afterwards. Also you didn't bleed the brakes. Its just that I changed my pads and they have been squealing. Any hints would be helpful thanks.

I leave the stock dampers in place when I change out the pads. My track pads still squeal like pigs on the street, but my street pads don't really squeal at all. Some people use anti-squeal paste or spray on the back of their pads to reduce the squealing (so that the pad adheres to the damper better).

I actually do bleed my brakes before every track event, I just didn't show it on the video.

It is the same procedure on the Boxster as well as the 996/997 Carreras.
