[s-cars] 928 BBK pad install

[Theodore Chen]

you're right, the retention device does vary.  that's why i said "pin or bolt" - there were different methods used over the years.  yours would have the spring clip.  but the basic idea is the same.  it's pretty easy to swap pads on brembo calipers, especially if you get rid of the anti-rattle clip.  don't forget the anti-seize on the edges of the pads where they contact the caliper, to reduce squeal.

Actually, IIRC my 928GTS Big Blacks didn't have the pin.  There was just
one big honkin' (technical term) butterfly spring holding the pads in.
Squeeze that spring together and remove the lower end(?) and then the
spring will flip up.  Spread the pads, remove, and replace.

it's the easiest pad replacement you'll ever do.

there's a pin or bolt that runs across the caliper in the middle.
remove it.  once it's out, pull the anti-rattle clip out.  after that,
lever against the pads to push them apart and retract the pistons.
after that, the pads slide right out.

put some antiseize on the edges of the new pads, slide them in, install
anti-rattle clip, install pin/bolt.

Can anyone give me a link or description on how to replace the brake
pads on
the Porsche 928 GTS "Big Blacks"?

Any help appreciated.
