Anyone know how to replace breakpads -southbay Los Angeles area

To my avid Porsche owners,
I am wondering whoever knows how to replace breakpads on a 1999 996 coupe. I'm in hermosa beach will prepay all the parts necessary and if the price is fair and this something you enjoy doing the job is yours... I'm in hermosa beach and I'm looking to get them replaced around mid-November ... Please contact me within the next few weeks or send me a referral

This is an easy DIY job. Are you a member of the PCA? Someone should be able to show you how to do it or coach you as you follow the tech article I posted for you on the other post about brake pads that you started.
Not too tough and one of the many basic maintenance jobs you should learn to do.

I wish... I don't have the tools nor equipment and not car savvy at all. I did get a pretty fair price on the breakpads for about 6 and some change so ill go with that. I have yet to join the Porsche club. Next on the to -do-list... Appreciate the feedback

Go to the Renntech forum under DIY for the 996. Lots of info.

A couple of good films here for your year replacing brakes Porsche 996 - YouTube

The money I saved by doing the job myself paid for all the tools and hardware needed to complete the job. Included in that was a low profile racing jack and stands.
