Hey all, I bought some used 997TT front 6 piston calipers. I need to replace the seals around the pistons and I cannot find a rebuild kit for these. The Porsche dealer does not list one or replacement parts but does for 996TT calipers. I looked at the Brembo site to see if they had a contact number but could not find a support or parts number to call. I also checked with Vivid and they did not know of a kit. Does anyone know where I can find new piston seals for these rotors? They must be available somewhere.

Thanks!

 

You could ask for the seals replacement for the 996 gt2/gt3 6 piston calipers ... in Italy the replacement kits are available with the following codes:
95135291700
99635191500
99635191501
Hope this helps !

 

Thanks ThePunisher, those part numbers were correct! Now..
On top of each piston there is a ceramic disc shaped like a thick lifesaver. This is what the dust shield goes around and then presses back into the caliper. Appears that it is a heat buffer between the piston and the pad backing plate. The anti-squeel discs press into each of the three of these on each side. They must be removed in order to put on the new dust seals, or at least mine did because the dust seals were so brittle from overheating that there would have been no way to get the small pieces of rubber out otherwise. Most came out easily, and were stuck a little to the top of each piston. Two were difficult to remove, and a third almost impossible, in fact it was so "stuck" to the top of the piston it cracked. More like shattered while trying to dislodge it. I tried gently first and then progressively firmer, it was not coming off like the others. So now I need to find one, which seems like it might be difficult. Might require buying a whole rebuilt kit just for that one piece. I already have the dust shield all installed and the calipers completed except for that. Does anyone know a source for one. Viperbob - have any used ones sitting around?? They are graduated in size on each side of the caliper. Of the three on each side it is the largest of the three and it is just the ceramic puck that I need.
