Anyone got a handy guide as to how this is done?

Assume it's not rocket science, but useful to know if there's a special way of handling the discs/resetting the pistons.

Cheers.

On the 997 GT3 the fronts are straightforward, remember to use the hub guide pins to remove and re-fit the wheels though.
You can usually just push on the top of the pads sideways firmly and this should move the pistons back, before you remove them.

On the rears you need to unbolt the caliper and hang to the side - slightly tricky - then in theory you need to use new bolts for refitting.

You're best to buy new pad sensors from an OPC, getting the old ones off the old pads without breaking them is very tricky.

If I was at home I could post a few pics, unfortunatley I'm not.

Good luck.

Cheers Sandy.

Sounds pretty straightforward then. I just brick it at the slightest glimpse of these damn PCCBs laugh

I was the same at first, but just took it slow and easy - you'll be fine.
