Hi,

Be sure to replace the Brake Hardware too - PN# 996.351.959.01 (Fr - 2 Req.), 996.352.959.01 (Rr - 2 Req.).

This is essential as the old Caliper Pins get corroded from all the Brake Dust. If these are not clean, it can cause the Pads to Hang-up and wear unevenly, shortening their life and affecting Braking Efficiency.

Adds about $100 to the cost of the Brake Job - still much cheaper than a Dealer...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
