brake pad tool

[spencer361]

Hi guys, just a quick question, I need to fit some new pads soon and was just wondering if the callipers were simple push and squeeze back to get the new pads in or you need a wind back tool?

Thanks

It's a 20007 SB 140

Fronts are fine, quite easy but rears do need the tool yes

I looked at buying the tool when i was fitting my rear brakes but i spoke to my freind who works at audi and he said it costs around £90

thanks guys, hmm I spoke to GSF car parts and they do a universal wind back tool, problem is down here in cannes Audi dealer thinks they can charge whatever they like so it would probably be cheaper getting a tool sent down.

i got a windback tool from halfords for about £20, 90 seems to be a rip off to me

Fronts you push back in.

As the rears have the handbrake mech on them they need rewinding back. I got the tool from Halfords for 20 odd quid which did the job.
