Description
Porsche Disc Brake Rotor Replacement: A DBA Guide
> Disc brake rotors, mate, are absolutely vital for hauling up your Porsche. They team up with the pads to slow you down. Over time, especially with those tough conditions dishing out the punishment to your 911 or Cayman, rotors can wear out, warp, or even crack.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Brake pedal feels like it's got the shakes (vibration)
• Brakes are squealing like a gutted pig or grinding like dusty metal tracks
• Can see cracks or deep grooves on the rotor
• Taking longer to stop than it used to
• Brake pads wearing unevenly
WOF Woes?
Worn or rooted brake rotors are a dead cert for failing your WOF here in NZ. They've gotta be above the minimum thickness and crack-free to pass the test.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 7/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours per axle
Tools You'll Need: Jack and stands (never get under a car supported only by a jack!), wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, rotor puller (might need one)

• Lubrication: Apply caliper grease to caliper slide pins and pad contact points to prevent squealing.
