- ►While front brake pads and rotors typically get all the love, replacing your Porsche 996 911 rear brake pads and rotors is equally as important.
The rear brakes on the Porsche 996 911 typically last between 30,000 and 50,000 miles and should be inspected upon every front brake change. What you're looking for on inspection is brake pads with less than recommended minimum thickness, warped rotors, which you will typically feel when braking from high speeds, or worn rotors that have developed deep grooves or a lip around the edge.
Our Porsche 996 911 rear brake kits here at FCP Euro come with everything you need to replace the rear brake pads and rotors at home in your garage or driveway. Included in the kit are the pads and rotors themselves, the brake pad shims, wear sensors, and all new hardware.
Follow along as Michael Hidalgo takes us through the step-by-step DIY process of replacing the rear brakes on his Porsche 996 911.

Great video, what was not shown was to compress pistons all the way to accept the thicker new pads. I like to remove brake resevoir cap when doing so to reduce master culinder pressure as the fluid is being displaced back to the resevoir.
You might mention that it's important to release the parking brake prior to rotor removal. Learned this the hard way.😁
your instructional car maintenance/repair videos are some on the best on the interwebz
no bullshit, good camera work, can understand clearly and like the description of tools needed, plus torque settings. good job. Go PATRIOTS!!! Martin from UK.
I love to see video on replacing the parking brake shoes
You made the process cake and pie, thankee
🍰
Great explanation now I am brave enough to try it lol
Very timely. We just did all four corners on our 986 with the FCP Euro kit, but also replaced the rubber brake lines. It was an easy time to update those as well, and they are only $13 apiece.
Really helpful! Thanks.
Great video!!!! I just subscribed. Thank you!
I just did my front rotors, and will do the rear ones next. I had a hard time getting the pad retaining pin out; it was corroded and stuck. I cut a thin piece of sandpaper and slipped it behind the pin, grabbed it on the other side, and then tried to sand off as much of the corrosion as possible - all the way around. The pin finally came out. The two caliper bolts fought me too - they just never loosened up till the very end, same with the two tiny retaining screws. Finally, I broke off the 10mm bolt that holds the brake like on BOTH wheels, and yes, I'd used lots of blaster.
good job!!
Tip#1: don’t bother pulling the wear sensor from the pads unless you’re reusing it. I just trash the whole dangly mess lol!
Thanks Mike
Anytime, Steve!
I suggest anti-seize on the rotor retaining screws.
Excellent video, as usual.
Great DIY as always. Why is it that you can hit the zinc coated rotors with brake cleaner as you would a bare rotor?
Those pins are a PITA to remove, had to go through 2 punches!
Audi has a electronic parking. Rear brake are there small scaner that deactivate and activate this so I can replace rear brakes on Audi A3s 2015
The sensors are a total pain, always giving false alarms, I ripped them out
I noticed that you used the star pattern in tightening your wheel lug bolts. Great, but I feel you should make mention of it so any viewers who might not be familiar with proper wheel mounting will get the message.
Great point!
Can you tell me the best part to get for a full tune up and the best cross drilled rotors for my 1999 Porsche 996. Im going on vacation and the shop im taking it to I want to drop the parts off.
Spirited drives??
I have one brake damper that is stuck inside the cylinder. Anyone have this happen? If so, how did you get it unstuck?
Trying to find the brake kit mentioned on video at beginning
