Default Replace Rotor and pads

Hi Guys,

Sorry being a little lazy. Is there a step by step guide to replacing rotors and pads on a 993/ 964 ?

Also do I need to bleed the pistons once done ?

Cheers

Sunil

There is no need to bleed the brakes after fitting new pads/discs, however change brake fluid every 2 to 3 years.

Any suggestions or tips for materials or methods to help squeeling from happening?

OEM pads, rotors and spiders help squealing.

I don't think brake fluid should go 3 years.

My squealing has gotten so bad, I'm tempted to replace it all just so I'm not embarrased at stoplights anymore. Ugggh.

My squealing is periodic, once every 3-4 weeks, but very embarrassing. But I have a minimal 75% on all the pads so I'll just put up with it.

I thought all Brembo brakes squeak. It's the price to pay for high performance braking.

Different kind of squeek. This is an annoying, lower-pitched sound, at least on mine. Only under certain brake pressure and I can make it stop for a few days by washing the calipers/pads

+1...Brake fliud shouldn't go over 2 years and 12-18 months is better.

If you have a brake squeal, before you go tearing into your brakes, take your car out on a deserted road and do about 4 or 5 hard stops from 60-70 MPH...Make the ABS kick in if you can...You'd be surprised how much a series of hard stops will do for cleaning your rotors and pads and stopping the squeals.
