use a putty knife to separate the vibration damper rather than screwdriver or pliers to avoid scratching or bending it. put the brake lube on the pad, not the damper, that way you won't have any chance of getting the lube on the disk. maybe clean the insides with brake cleaner? drive the pin before pumping the brakes. other than that, great video! very detailed. thanks.

Thanks so much for the awesome and super welcoming video. I'm 23 and my 987 is my first 'proper' car. Terrified of things going wrong and as a complete novice with mechanical engineering stuff its hard to find an approachable source of info. Thank you!

@CliffsGarage 3 года назад

You're very welcome! The 987s are awesome little cars. Take it out on a track day, it'll be more fun than you can imagine.

Excellent video: lots of details, great camera angles and references given. Maybe the best I have watched. What else could we wish for?! Sway bars change, shocks/dampers change (specially w/ PASM), drop links…on a 981! I am just saying as I know they would be brilliant videos to help me doing maintenance on my 981 but I am not asking! Thanks a lot all and plenty you have already published

Thanks for the great video. Just replaced the pads on my 987 and your guide was an awesome help. Much appreciation Cliff!

Can't expect better presentation. Thank you! It's my 1st time watching your videos, and I like it. Very genuine and generous presentation. I'm still looking for a video on replacing the crankshaft position sensor on a Cayman 987 v1. Mine is a 2008 Cayman S. I would appreciate a link to a video.

@Aeneas137 2 года назад

very helpful, thank you. I'm taking my 2006 CS to Sonoma next weekend for the first time. It'll be quite different from the 350Z on track. The pads i use are Hawk HP Plus. i love how hard they grip.

Just an excellent video. I took care of my own brake pads on all four wheels and the rotors last week. I have a 2008 CS. I took your advice and ordered the pug gloves. They are fantastic. The only glove I’ve ever found that I can wear all day and not sweat. Excellent advise. Thank you.

@CliffsGarage 2 года назад

Yep, Pug gloves are the best!

Great video I had no idea there were the sockets/dampers within the pistons stuck to back of pad. Also like the whee alignment studs to trying to line up with car on jack is a real pain without.

@deep6thisdeep6this92 2 года назад

if the caliper has been removed for some reason, like when replacing the rotors it's much easier to put the dampers on the pads and then insert them in the caliper. then re-install the caliper. in fact it might be easier to just remove the caliper in all circumstances when replacing the pads and dampers. the lack of a rotor avoids problems involving adhesive and rotor.

This was a super helpful video, made the process very easy. Where is the video on “bedding” the brake pads?

@Seedthrower 2 года назад

Those Wheel Stud Alignment Pins are exactly what I'm looking for! The lugs bolts I'm using are a 3/4 inch/19mm head - what alignment pins do you recommend?

@perebrine 2 года назад

Hi, Thank you that's a very well explained video & easy to follow. Can I ask, is the CRC Disc Brake Quiet (The Red stuff) used essentially as a glue to stick the vibration plate to the pads?

@CliffsGarage 2 года назад

Yes, that's why it's there. However, recently I've stopped using it since it appears to be unable to stand up to the heat of track use.

@perebrine 2 года назад

@@CliffsGarage Thank you.

@perebrine 2 года назад

@@CliffsGarage I suppose any heat resistant glue would work? Thinking about it, if it stuck too well & you couldn't get the vibration plate off, it would mean removing the caliper each time?

@dudeisnotcoolio 2 года назад

@@CliffsGarage Have you found that your pads make more noise after removing them? Also are you running the pads dry or adding some anti squeal to the back?

@teejdrives 3 года назад

There is no need to hammer the rod out of the caliper. Simply press down on the spring with your thumb, and push the rod through with your punch using the other hand. After you get the rod half way, you can use the punch to depress the spring. If you hammer it though enough times (like me) you will start to enlarge the holes meant to retain the rod.

@CliffsGarage 3 года назад

Well, that may be true for you, but with every time I've done it there was no way hand pressure was going to move that pin. Corrosion and grime make sure of that.

@stephenauty2402 Год назад

@@CliffsGarage I concur , no way you can push those out by hand.
