[V8] rear brakes

[Greg Furstenwerth]

Apparently the brakes are different on the V8 than other models from 
Audi :/ thats why it was done wrong anyway I called up a local mechanic 
who worked on my other audi a while ago and he told me about the tool I 
got it done YAY!! fresh brakes with only about 1mm to spare on the old pads!
