hi guys, i messed up one of my front rotors and i was wondering if it is easy to replace them or do i have to take it to my porsche dealer? is there any manual or video to do it? i already ordered the part from suncoast. i could not find anything in the forums about this matter

 

There's a brake DYI posted here, or renlist which features the rotor replacement as a part of the brake work.

I've got 130lbs of brakes, pads and rotors in the back of my CS right now, which I'll be working on sometime this week, so I'll be able to tell you directly in a few days.

For the GTS, the main thing you're looking at is a slightly bigger rotor, but the assembly and instructions are the same. Search for the Brakes and Brake Pads, the DYI will pop up. (There's also a very useful youtube video detailing the rotor replacement)

 

do you have the link for this video? thank you

 

how did you mess up one rotor? its not difficult to do, you have to remove two caliper bolts, theyre either torx, allen or triple square iirc, and one small screw/bolt that hold the rotor. if the rotors still stuck with the caliper and screw removed, you have to give it a few good whacks with a mallet/hammer and the rotor will loosen/pop off. once the wheel is off the car, someone that knows how to do it can prob change 1 rotor in about 10 min. you should re-torque the caliper bolts to 75 ft lb.

 

my brother crashed into a highway defense and broke the rotor. no other damage as far i can tell.. but it is pretty messed up. i'm going to post pictures of the rotor after i install the new ones
