Brake Job Help
Hey guys. I知 hosting a Tech Session for our local PCA area in a couple weeks. We池e tackling a brake job on a 964 Targa; rotors, pads, fluid, and lines. I believe the owner purchased a kit from Pelican.
Anyhow, between myself and friends, we have experience with doing brake jobs on the 996 platform, as well as recently a 87 911. We値l have a lift, Motive bleeder, full assortment of Allen/hex tools, Torx, ratchets, sockets, etc. Having said that, I知 asking for any advice, tips, tricks, and / or any special tools required? DIY write ups or links? Thanks :cheers: |
Watch out for the bottom allen head bolt on the rear calipers. You will need one a long one that can be attached to a breaker bar/torque wrench. Make sure you use penetrating oil before starting.
Oh, might want to bleed the clutch while you are there. |
SH NC,
PCA Tech Session focusing on a 964...braking system no less. Now I'm going to have to join PCA! Congrats on your newly acquired GT3. I live in Chapel Hill and attended a Wake Zone coffee run once so I follow the thread on the 996 forum. Very nice guys. Here's a link the brake pad thread that was recently updated: https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ferrerid=19642 |
dont take the calipers off. You dont need to when you change pads and fluids. As said before that back allen bolt can cause a lot of trouble.

Release the emergency brake before pulling rotors off!!

Anyone know what the torque values are for the caliper bolts?

This is the allen tool I cut to take the bolts off the caliper. The long one goest hru the hole on the rears. It took a breaker bar to break mine lose.

SH NC,
Thanks for the offer, unfortunately I'll still be out of town at that time. Give me a heads up on the next one. You guys have a great group at Wake Zone, I hope to make a coffee run in the next couple of weeks...want to hear the exhaust set up on your GT3! Best, Udo |

Are you going to do the little spring plates inside the calipers ?

Scott,
Do you need an extra can of ATE blue just in case it is needed? I think I have an unopened one in my garage. John |
Heat from a propane torch for those really stubborn bolts and nuts.
