Awesome🎉. I know you are glad to have that behind you. Loved the way you laid out everything prior to beginning. Nice to know I’m not the only one that OCD🤪
Super great video! This is coming up on our car. I like the dry method. Anything goes crazy you don't have brake fluid everywhere! Really enjoyable to watch! Did you have to adjust the rear parking brake shoes? Franny
Thank you so much for watching! Yeah dry method is key! There is also a way to modify it so that it pulls fluid from the ATE can...But I don't mind the way it is now. Yes, had to back out the e-brake shoes a little for the new rotor to come on. Thanks again!
Great series, Jakob! Definitely a thorough and detailed DIY for us 993'ers. Maybe a follow-up on how the brakes are feeling during and through break-in this season? Cheers! -M@
Yeah, good idea! I'll mention it in a future driving video for sure. This brake job was done last spring, so I have a few thousand miles on the new parts already - they are glass smooth and have alarmingly good stopping power. Also no squeal despite not running the "anti-squeal-spiders". Thanks for watching!!
Nice job, Jakob. Makes it really clear how to complete this project. When are you sending the calipers out for professional refinishing? Before driving season, I hope.
That was my question as well... I was looking to see if you decided to send them out this winter and get them blasted and refinished with the decals... that is on my list in a year or two!
Hey guys, I'm sending them out -- (dropping them off at a local calliper shop) to get blasted and refinished with the Porsche logos very soon. I have to pull them off still, plan is to do it this weekend. The shop needs a week so I should be good. I'm not going to film the disassembly or assembly, so it will go 15x faster lmao! Thanks for watching! Take care!
Great job and nice documentation! Why did you go Big Reds? Do you drive the car on track with slicks to need the little extra cooling vs the stock callipers? I have the Big Reds on mine, but it's 90% in the pads in regards to heat/fading. Installing some Pagid RS29s tomorrow, hopefully that will give me a hard pedal after many laps!
Ha!!! I have the same "Do you even lift?" shirt in green. I was a little confused that the brakes were suddenly off the car again until the end of the video. I remember the brake job last year and that you were going to get the powder coated, i believe this year sometime. Spinning that rear caliper on seems like it has a high potential for cross threading. Man!! That brake fluid was clean. How long had that been in there? I suppose you were about to discern the old from the new, but it must've not be in there too long.
Ha, yeah man, love this shirt. It's so ratty now - it became my garage shirt. Yeah so this video was filmed last summer...I lost a bunch of footage of the bleeding and the actual road test (bummer), so I had to refilm me talking to put it all into context at the end..... Calipers are coming off next weekend to get redone. I'm stoked.. Thanks for watching!
Best part - laying out all of the parts on a bunch of neatly-placed shop towels divided into the four quadrants for each corner of the car. Bonus: all parts sit perpendicular to each other!
Jacob, 1) what did you use to cap the brake lines to prevent brake fluid leakage while working the calipers? where can I purchase? 2) What is the material you've applied to the hub before assembling the rotor, copper paste?
What’s the temp spec on that copper anti seize? There are products more specific to that application. When copper anti seize heats up it gets everywhere and is a mess
Touch choice...really tough choice. If I could only have one it would be a 993TT. (But it's so hard for me to make that decision - I LOVE the 997.1 GT3RS! Especially in that green! :O Thanks for watching!
Thanks for an informative video Jakob. Discussing the bedding process at the end was smart - an important action. Cheers from Round Rock, Texas.
Bedding is so important!!
Love how organized and detail this DIY is. Definitely taking some pointers from you. Keep it up man!
Thank you so much Vintage Appeal!! Take care! :)
Awesome🎉. I know you are glad to have that behind you. Loved the way you laid out everything prior to beginning. Nice to know I’m not the only one that OCD🤪
Thanks for watching!! Yeah, damn, so happy it's over...until next weekend when I pull the calipers and send them out to get redone. :)
Great Video - You do an excellent job of describing the process and capture a lot of helpful visuals. I love the look of the big red front rotor hats.
Thanks James!!! :) Yeah those floating hats look so awesome when they're new!
Thanks for sharing. I have to change the fluid soon so it was great to see this. Thanks again! Sk in the UK.
Thanks for watching. Hope it helps.
You are the real deal my friend... Great job!
Thanks!

Thanks! Big Reds are the stock brakes on the 993 C4S and Turbo models. I swapped just OE Genuine parts. :)
Excellent video! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks!

Awesome video and organizational skills made easy to follow, replicate brake work
Congratulations! Great job! 👍
Thank you for watching! :)
Good job!
Thank you.
What’s the temp spec on that copper anti seize? There are products more specific to that application. When copper anti seize heats up it gets everywhere and is a mess
Up to 1800F. I think it’s ok. Never had an issue in many applications with this Permatex product.
If you had the choice of buying a 993 Turbo or a 997 Carrera GT3RS for the same price, similar miles.. What would you buy?
Touch choice...really tough choice. If I could only have one it would be a 993TT. (But it's so hard for me to make that decision - I LOVE the 997.1 GT3RS! Especially in that green! :O Thanks for watching!
Maybe 20k miles
