Audi Rear Brake Pads Installation

Brake pads are essential to the safety of your Audi. However, as they wear out, performance will gradually reduce and it will take longer to stop the vehicle. A new set of brake pads will rejuvenate the performance of the braking system and will get rid of any squealing caused by worn-out pads.Installation Procedure:
1. Slightly loosen each lug nut on the Audi's rear wheels, turning them counterclockwise with the wheel nut wrench no more than one full turn each. Doing this will make the nuts easier to remove after the car is jacked up.
2. Park the car and turn off its ignition. Place wheel chocks under the front wheels to prevent the Audi from moving. Position a jack under the center of the rear axle. Lift the car until there is adequate clearance to place jack stands on either side of the jack. Lower the jack until the stands are supporting the Audi's full weight.
3. Unscrew and remove the rear lug nuts. Take the wheel off. Remove the brake caliper by disconnecting the bolts located on the inner-most side. There will be two pads inside the caliper, which press on either side of the rotor while braking. Pry each pad out and set them aside.
4. Open and secure the car's hood. Remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir. This will allow excess pressure to be released as you depress the caliper piston.
5. Using a "C" clamp on the caliper, carefully compress the piston until it is fully retracted inside the caliper.
6. Insert the replacement brake pads. Make sure the metal tabs are pressed completely inside the hole in the caliper. Reinstall the caliper and tighten the bolts that were previously removed. Follow the same procedure in the previous steps to change the brake pads on the other side of the car.
7. Place the cap back on the brake fluid reservoir. Put the wheels back on and tighten each lug nut. Remove the stands and lower the rear of the Audi. Tighten the lug nuts on the wheels.
