brake change part #s and instructions

[raffi]

Does anyone have the part #s for a brake change diy on a 2005 carrera S.

probably just need the pads, sensors, shims.

anything else you could think of would be appreciated.

also if there is anything special on this diy.

I did the brakes on my 996 using the maintenance diy on here without any problems.

thanks

I'm looking for the same info and advice on what manual I should buy for the car. This first time I just need to swap some pads asap for a DE event.

Yes the 996 and the 997 method is the same.

The 997 and the 997S have different front pad size.

Thanks very much! I didn't find that one despite several searches although I saw some pics just like them that were for a GT2/3. I was searching 997 so that was probably the issue.

I don't have part numbers as I threw all of the boxes away but wanted to pass along that I have an early 997-1 and the rear pads have been superceded to presumably 997-2. The backing plate for the pad material is larger and the original spring clips that hold the pads in position in the caliper have also been changed but are NOT included with the pads. So there is a spring upgrade kit that has 2 spring clips and 2 pins to hold the pads in the caliper. The updgrade kit was $30. Also. don't forget that you have to change the caliper bolts if you are removing the rotors. They are stretch bolts and can only be used once. The parts guys at the dealership told me that he had a guy that reused the bolts and the car came back shortly after he did the job because the rotor came loose on the highway and jammed into the wheel, locking it at highway speeds!

One thing I wish I had done differently was that the parking brake has to be pulled up pretty high to hold the car on a slope. There is a toothed adjustment wheel that you can move to push out the drums that are located under the rotor. I extended the adjustment wheels a few turns and reassembled. This lowered the parking brake lever MAYBE one click. I was afraid to go to far because I did not want the drums to rub against the rotor even with the lever all the way down. As the caliper bolts are one time, I could not dissassemble to re-adjust and where the caliper bolts for all 4 corners were $130, it was not that important. In hindsight, I should have reassembled using the old bolts until I knew it was adjusted where I wanted it and then swapped in the new bolts.

Hope this helps,

Mark
