Description
Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — With TRW
> Brake pads? They're the bit that squeezes against your brake rotors to slow you down. On a rig like your Porsche Cayenne, they cop a hiding thanks to all that weight and power. Over time, they just wear down, eh?
What Clued You In?
• Brakes squealing like a gutted possum?
• Pedal feeling soft as?
• Steering wheel doing the Macarena when you brake?
• Taking longer to pull up than you're used to?
• Dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree with brake warnings?
Will it pass WOF?
Nah, mate, worn brake pads are a guaranteed WOF fail. They check the thickness and how well your brakes are working. If the pads are too thin or anything's suss, you're walking home.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (A good weekend job)
Estimated Time: An afternoon on the drive
Tools Required: Jack, axle stands, wheel brace, G-clamp or piston pusher, brake cleaner, torque wrench, socket set, wire brush.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under your Cayenne supported only by a jack. Use proper axle stands – your life's worth more than saving a few minutes.
• Cleanliness is Next to Godliness: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Give the area a good blast with Brake Cleaner before you start pulling things apart. Keeps the dust down and the lungs happy.
• Protect Your Investment: A bit of copper anti-seize on the back of the pads and the caliper bolts will make life easier next time around. Trust me on this one.
• Lube It Up: Caliper pins need to slide freely. A dab of brake caliper grease ensures smooth operation and prevents binding.
• Hand Protection: Use Nitrile Gloves to keep the brake dust and grease off your hands
• Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses to keep debris and brake cleaner out of your eyes.
Expert Recommendation
Bob always says, don't muck around with brakes. Get those pads sorted at the first sign of trouble to keep your Porsche Cayenne stopping sweet. Pop into Bob's Shop, and we'll get you sorted!
Fitment Notes
These pads are made for Porsche Cayenne models from 2010 to 2018, including S, S E-Hybrid, GTS, Turbo, Turbo S, and Diesel. Double-check your year and model though, as brakes can vary even within the same range.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF4487S) to ensure a perfect bed-in and get the job done properly first time!
🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Brakes get incredibly dirty. Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from stubborn brake dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use a high-quality Brake Cleaner spray to blast away stubborn dust, oil, and road grime from the caliper assembly and new rotors before reassembly.
• Lubrication: Apply a thin smear of high-temperature caliper grease to the pad backing plates and slide pins (keep it off the pad friction material!) to prevent squeals and ensure smooth caliper operation.
