[back to index]
This is the A4 rear brake system...
Close-up w/ caliper removed
Applying brake cleaner
Attaching C-clamp to compress piston
Starting to tighten down the C-clamp
A bit of help to turn the piston head
Inserting the new pads
Reattaching the calipers
Look ma... jackstands!
Yes, that's all that's holding up the car...
That's not OJ we're bleeding off
Is that a power-bleeder?
Why yes, it is a power-bleeder!
One-way valve on bleeder hose
Changing the other rear brakes
Christine, is that all that's left of your car?
Yes, this looks legal...
Our victim... Christine's 2.8
Morgan bleeds his brakes
Mark gets to work on the front brakes
Disconnecting the wear-sensor
Some help pulling off the caliper
A box is handy to rest that caliper
Whoops... the rotor fell off
Darnit... pesky piston stickin' out
Piston, meet Mr. C-clamp
In go the new pads...
Is this an Audi service center?
