Macan GTS Rear Rotor Replacement?

[Wellardmac]

I am not 100% familiar with the Macan, however, generally you can remove the caliper and replace the rotor.

In order to remove the calipers, you will need to spread the brake pads, that is push them back from the rotor. The distance that they need to go back will depend if there is a lip on the top of the existing rotor due to wear.

Once you reassemble everything, you will need to push on the brake pedal a few times to reseat the pads. You will also need to “bed“ the pads to the new rotor.

Thanks!

So, remove the retaining bolts, spread the pads with a screwdriver and lift off the caliper? Anything else I need to take into account?

The rotors do have a lip, but the pads are almost new. I just bought the car and the previous owner should have done them together, but no biggie. I have the rotors and am hoping I can do this easily. I'm just hoping to avoid having to mess with pulling the caliper apart to get to the rotor and all the videos show combined brake/rotor jobs and I was pretty sure that there was an easier way.
