Hardware to change when doing rotor/pad replace

[ciaka]

05CTT

Does anyone know if there is a requirement/recommendation to change any hardware when rotors/pads are being swapped?

I mean bolts, pins, bushings, rubber seals, etc.

Any places things should be lubed with hi heat grease?

Planning to do this next week and while I am at it, might as well do it properly.

Thank you.

ciaka, if you become a Renntech contributing member you can download a few brake DIYs. Well worth the membership costs. You'll see pictures and details of what to replace when you do your brake job.

Buy new wear sensors. They are about $30 a pair. These can become brittle and brake when doing a pad replacement. Just replace 'em. Faster.

sometimes a quick two words are much quicker and serve many more people than responses telling one to go search since someone sometime has said something similar.

Already did quick search and happened not to find, hence the post. Forums are a place for info exchange and yes, sometimes questions are duplicated, but not to cause headaches for all. If you do not feel like answering why not just go to different thread.

Sorry to be harsh, but find it annoying when I see this on forums. Yes, you know the answer, but the one who asks does not. If you know, why not just say it (quick and useful). The 'use search...' - not helpful to community. I answered many many questions on many forums even though covered. Being helpful is simple.

The search function works well. I just used it found 5 pages of post with others who had Cayenne brake questions/repair/part number requests. I know for a fact your questions would have been answered as they have been asked before. The best advice to give was to use the search function, how is that being rude?

Why pollute the forum with repeated posts?

The forum is to be used be all to get info/advice from others who know already. If someone already asked the question, great.

We all know the search functions well, and if I spent enough time, I would maybe have dug up some info. After brief search, nothing wrong with asking. Who cares if question was asked before already. Remarking that one needs to use search function assumes they did not, which many times is not correct for many of those who ask. Posting remarks like that scares them to go elsewhere, as they are not productive remarks for anyone.

People can have a million questions and comments about brakes for a Cayenne, none of which may specifically deal with question one wants to ask. I consider forum pollution, when someone is not replying specifically to a thread, but talking about other stuff that is not directly addressing the thread questions. Makes it harder for others to find the accurate answer.

Doing a simple search on 'rotors' gets you 4 pages of info. If you start reading, you notice that many threads have nothing to do with what parts need or are recommended to be replaced when changing pads/rotors. You get things like roll calls, some pd questions after changing rotors, etc, etc. Point is, doing a search bring up a ton of stuff that is totally unrelated to the specific question - recommended or required parts to change when replacing rotors/pads.

Sometimes you have answers but these are buried below 4 pages of a totally unrelated post. It would be so easy for those who already know, to just write 1 sentence - 20 seconds. Or do nothing - even simpler.

Maybe you are a whizz at searching forums. 1000 better than I. If so, sorry for being worse than you in searching forums, just do not have the time to spend to learn forum searching on as advanced level as you.

That is what we are all here for, help those who have questions.

Anyways, you did help me out on a couple occasions, and I salute you for that. If you know everything, great - I wish I did know half the stuff you do then, but please do not throw the 'use the search button' reply.

If I have offended you, my apologies, that was not my intent. Please keep in mind that others may be seeking info and may not/will not know as much as you. We should not make it a hard thing to ask questions. Questions are always good.

Have a great day.

I'm not offend at all. I'm here to learn just like most who visit this site and I certainly don't know everything.
