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?
