Hi I am replacing the pads on my 997.1 with PCCB. There are yellow "plastic spacers" in a lack of a better word that sits between the pistons and the pads on the calipers. They have have rubber grommet around them for dust protection to the pistons. When i removed the pads some of these came loose, they are really hard to get the rubber grommets around . How important is it to get these rubber grommets to seal completely ? I would think it is important to keep dust out from the pistons.

 

Hence my question, anyone tried this and have an idea of how to get the yellow plastic spacers back in, They are really difficult to get in under the rubber grommet to seal completely.

 

Not sue if this makes any sense, but if you have chanced pads on PCCB's i guess you know what i mean.

 

Appreciate any help !

A picture is worth a thousand words. I haven't done my PCCB brakes yet, but am interested.

Ok, so I replaced the clutch!!! Not the easiest thing but not impossible, just a lot of work (a friend of mine that have a good understanding of cars helped me). The biggest issue was the clutch slave cylinder...we had a hard time putting it back after transmission was in place. We had to disconnect the tubing for better handling...then had an issue placing into the cylinder. Then, we took the cylinder out again, was able to put it all at once but then had to bleed the system...with a bad bleeder...long story short, the transmission work was around 6hrs (with lunch and getting some extra parts) and an additional 4-5hrs dealing with clutch, bleeder, brake fluid, getting a new bleeder, etc... So, whatever you do don't disconnect the slave cylinder and tubing unless you are ready to deal with bleeding the system. I will post some pictures later, the process is very similar to the 996... One final issue...after everything was complete, the day after my air bag light decided to come on!!!! Probably because battery was unplugged for a long time...anybody near Houston with a durametric tool that I could use to turn it off??

How high did you jack up the car to get the tranny out?

And did you do the RMS? Easy?

Did you physically inspect the port itself. Make sure the metal pins/sockets are intact?

Even though this thread is old a response is warranted.

I would go to those weekend Caffeine & Cars meets and talk people up about their exhaust so that you can hear them in person and get some feedback from the owners.

I have a Agency Power exhaust, it's not too loud and I like it (so does the wife)

Thanks for the info. I ended up getting this taken care of. Viva la Durametric Pro.

Ditto I did the same just yesterday. I had changed the TPMS sensors with HUF's as they went dead, till some of them starting acting up after I changed them. Too much money to maintain that system.

Why can't these cars be easier than that, I hate having to go to the Stealership.

I want to be able to diagnose my own problems, that why I bought the Durametric, and repair them myself.

Thanks for your info!

Where is 997.618.516.01 located? Durametric calls it the Communications Front Control Unit (Comfort)

Battery died and after I did the emergency procedure to open the boot lid I got a C127 error, it goes away and then comes back intermittently.

TIA
