Need to Replace Brakes and Rotors on 02 TT


Recommended Posts

I need to replace the pads and rotors on my 02 TT with 50K miles. I have researched the topic but still have a few questions.

1) I changed the pads on my old 996 .... is it the same on a Turbo.

2) I have read the instructions on the rotor removal / replacement for a 996, is it the same for a Turbo

3) Do the brakes need to be bled for removing / replacing the calipers?

Finally, i didnt see a formal DIY for the Rotors. if there is one, i please point me that direction. thx, Mark

1. Pretty much yes.

2. Yes.

3. Yes if you open any lines or remove the calipers completely. No if you are just changing pads.

Can the calipers be removed without disconnecting the lines?
