[s-cars] Front Rotor & pad R/R?

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

John,
It's very easy... I'm assuming G60s.  Use a small prybar to press against the old pads.  The goal is to get the caliper piston all the way back into the caliper, you'll need that space to install the new pads.  Remove the 2 bolts on the caliper bracket... Before you do all of this, make sure you have removed your master cylinder res cap, and have some means to catch the fluid that may come out the top.  Pull the caliper off the rotor... the rotor will typically then fall off.  Installation is the reverse of removal  ;-)
 
I'd suggest that you get a pressure bleeder.  They only cost about $45, and will save you tons of time.
HTH,
Dave

Hi all,

Bringing the list back to reality since Hap posted his gorgeous
set up, I need help with a little OEM rotor and pad replacement!

I do not have the Bentley Manual yet(waiting for that printed
version) and have no idea if i need any special tools for
replacing the front rotors and pads.  I have done this procedure
before, just not on an Audi.  Do I need to be aware of anything
unusual before I begin the procedure this weekend?

I also have a set of SS braided brake lines that I would like to
put on.  Is there a recommended bleeding procedure or should I
just put one on at a time and try to get the air out before
moving to the next?

Thanks for any help, it is needed and much appreciated!

john
