Afternoon chaps,
after ordering new pads i am hoping to get a more concise insight into the replacement methods for both fronts and backs.
I am no newcomer to pad replacing , god i've changed a lot over the years from cars ,bikes and tractors but cars these days do vary to differing degrees on fitment methods, differing tools etc, not a skill thing just a need to know what the form is situation.
So then , with pads expected tuesday i was hoping to become fully conversant with as much info as possible before i rip the old ones out.
I suspect the pistons will need winding back , my 2006 subaru legacy only needed the use of the trusty G-clamp, will this work on an A4 or is it another special tool for my collection.
is there a quick way or is it prettywell a fixed sequence of events that need just a few tools.
As they say, knowledge is power, or in this case pad replacement.
Any feedback would be great chaps.
