Looking for help, I replace pads on my 997 and 996, very easy, then I looked at my 2011 Cayenne.....
I searched for 2 hours on the internet to find a DYI and could not find one. After I remove the two bolts, yellow arrow, what should I expect?
Is this a two person job, where one (preferable a weight lifter) is holding the calipers while the other removes and re-installs the pads?
Is a special tool required for the brake pad clip?
Thank you

Bump. Any insight into how this went? Looking to change pads myself.

1980-930

Going to do this on an 09 i picked up over the weekend - any update on this?

I used a 90 degree plier for these clips. The spring is sprung from the middle of the "cross." You have to find a way to pinch it to release tension.

Your '09 likely has an entirely different caliper design (which doesn't need to be removed to replace the pads, only needs to be removed to replace the rotors.)

There are LOTS of DIY's on this - searching should turn them up.

Also - a clue - the MODEL of your '09 might well make a difference. Different model Cayennes use different brakes. The difference can be significant, and what's shown for one may not be at all like what is used on another.

Perhaps adding your name, year/model/location to a "SIG" might be useful. That means people won't have to guess..
