The DIY post for Cayenne Brakes was done very well. I do have three additional suggestions for you that might help with your brake job experience:

1) I recommend jack stands. The person doing this brake job has his legs under the vehicle with a floor jack; while probably safe, I don't recommend it. I also did the entire four corners on my knees in lieu of sitting. There is just something about having my legs under a vehicle held up with a floor jack...

2) Check how your sensor wires are before you reassemble your brake pads. In this DIY, the brake pad sensor cable is routed under the brake pin when it should be over the brake pin.

3) Phillips screwdriver for a punch is not the hot ticket. It will take a while to hammer on a screwdriver as with a punch it is relatively easy. I believe I used a 1/4" punch. The brake pin's are easily removed with a "set" punch and not "center" punch, as well as a deadblow hammer if you have one. If not, a ballpeen should work just fine.

All the best,
