Air Cooled Cars (911, 911 Turbo, 912 and 914)

FIGURE 5:

Color coding and semicircular cutouts (Fig. 1) in the area of the retaining pin holes identify asbestos-free brake pads.
Note: Asbestos-free rear axle brake pads up to and including 1983 model year do not have semicircular cutouts. Refer to color markings for identification.
Mixed installation of brake pads (with and without asbestos) on a vehicle is not permissible. When installing asbestos-free brake pads on cars before 1989 model year, both front and rear pads must be replaced.

Adjusting Parking Brake With Asbestos-Free Brake Linings (standard equipment from model year 1987)

Make sure asbestos-free linings do not contact the brake disc when turning the wheel since these linings expand more with heat than brake linings with asbestos.

Refer to Carrera Workshop Manual, Volume III, pages 46-6 and 46-7 for adjustment procedure and update step 5. Check whether both wheels can be turned freely after releasing parking brake.
Important:

Free turning of the wheel must also be checked when making fine adjustment after basic adjustment.
