I'm about to do the front pads for the first time,it all looks pretty staightforward but I wondered about the forums being full of tales about glueing the backing plates to the rear of the pads.I've always used coppaslip on the backs of pads on previous cars,does anyone know what this adhesive is and is it required?

Suggestion

All 996 have anti squeal pads on the back of the brake pads, they are self adhesive, no glue needed, unless youre trying to re-use some old ones?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 2Original post

I've changed my pads lots of times - Aluslip or coppaslip is the only way to do it, forget about the glue advice. Here's the 'how to' guide I use when changing mine. http://www.bombaydigital.com/boxster/projects/brakes/change_pads/

POST 4Original post

Take a look on YouTube, there are plenty of vids on there showing how to attach the pads. If you do use the adhesive pads they are self adhesive as T911UK says. Personally I never used them on the 944 turbo brakes - just a liberal smear of Copperslip on the back and you should be fine, but i'm sure the adhesive pads are also fine.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
