Rear Brembo brake pad change

[MichaelDesna]

Hi everyone ! My wife and I recently added a 2009 911 Carrera 4 Convertible to our family. The rear brake pads are down to nothing and I want to change them myself. They are Brembos with the numbers 997.362.425 on them as seen in the attached pictures. Could someone please direct me to some threads on how to change them as the YouTube videos I've watched are confusing. It looks like the whole caliper must be removed to change the pads. Thank you !

You have to unbolt the caliper from the car to change the pads

Then you have to push the pistons back...

to push the pistons back it's best to use one of these or similar pad spreader, I've sewn people try to use a screw driver poke a hole in the top of the piston, the Wurth or other lube is used only on sliding surfaces, sparingly

Thanks, guys. I found where the sensors plug in but how exactly do you unplug them ? Not to confuse you, but this is the Base model with originally black calipers. I painted them red and added the stickers.

Might've seen a few YouTube videos on this... I'm too lazy to search right now. I ended up paying someone to replace my rotors and pads.

This works better;

Sorry, this took some doing for a JPG. For the wires, pull the boot. You should be able to just wiggle them loose.
