| Thanx Pedro and Trygve for you brake help. Bruce In Philly (2000 S Boxster, now '09 C2S) - Friday, 1 July, 2011, at 5:17:47 pm |
Pedro, thanx for the encouragement. Easy as pie. Actually pretty surprising how easy.
Apparently, as Marc W noted, Porsche doesn't use the anti-squeal backing pad anymore as the old pads came right out and the new ones didn't have the pad. This kind of worried me as some had said, a long time ago, that you have to pull the calipers off.
Ok, now I am full of confidence to attack anything! Hmmm.... how about new cams? Or maybe... hmmm a 911 turbo engine replacement?!! er... ok maybe not.

... I knew that you could do it, gain confidence, feel good about it and save some dough.
Glad to hear.
