Porsche 930 Brake Pad Replacement

1978 - 1989 3.3Litre

Step 1. The 930 uses 917 style calipers on both front and rear brakes (78-89 3.3L only) make this
procedure apply to all four wheels..  Jack up the car and remove the wheels..

Step 2. Using a needle nose plyer, remove the brake pad sensor.  If the sensor had been rubbed by the
rotor, it should be replaced.  Using a narrow pair of channel locks, squeeze the retaining spring clip.

Step 3. Once the retaining spring and brake sensor are loose, pull back the retaining spring to get access
to the brake pads.

Step 4. Using a large sharp screwdriver, pry one side of the brake pad all the way back so to allow room
for the new brake pad.  If you think this method is too crude, you can use brake caliper compressor.

Step 5. With a pair of plyers, pull out the old pad and insert the new pad.  With the new pad in place, pry
the brake pad on the other side all the way back to allow the new pad to fit.

Step 6. With both pads in place, push the retaining spring back in place with a large flat screwdriver.
Re-attach the brake sensor using a set of needle nose plyers.
