2008 Cayenne Turbo Front brake pad replacement

[mac996]

I have a 2008 Cayenne turbo with the red 368 mm Calipers (955 351 421 70). Since the top of the caliper is closed, it looks like I have to remove the caliper to replace the brake pads. 

 

I have not been able to find a DIY for these calipers. Is there anything special I need to do to get the brake pads out and replace the pad retaining spring?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hmm... did someone upgrade the brakes to the 92A (2011 and later) brakes?

Either way - yes, the calipers need to come off.

Front!

No the Front disk and the spec for wear! I see them on Pelican Parts but not sure which to buy.

Thanks Sam

You need to look at your car's option codes.

If you do not have them then PM me your VIN and I will get you a copy.
