Change Pads on RS6 Callipers

[viperbl]

Guys,

Do I need a tool to push back the callipers when I change these pads or is this only really for the rear ones???

Cheers

fronts just push back, rears only need the special tool to set the handbrake

np. it's a bit of a pain because there's so many pistons, as you push one back the others pop out, might be worth leaving the old pads in and levering them apart with a screwdriver or lever of some kind, don't forget to release the brake reservoir cap first and make sure you don't push the fluid level up so far it spils out

20 mins a side with a bit of luck, if the snow holds off
