Audi A6 Quattro Front brake pad and rotor installation
Jack up the car. Remove wheels to expose the brake caliper and rotor. Open the hood, and remove the brake reservoir cap to relieve pressure that will occur when piston is pressed back in later.
New brake pads and rotors
Using a flat screwdriver remove the clips from the caliper at the arrow, and circled part should pop out. Next relieve the pressure off the caliper piston by using the screwdriver to prepare it for removal.
Locate the caliper bolt covers on the back of the caliper.
With the cover removed, use a hex bolt to remove the bolts.
Slide Caliper out and place either on a box or let it hand by a string, so not that put pressure on the brake hose.
Remove brake pads. One of which has a wire sensor attached.
Use a flat screwdriver to open the sensor attachment and remove.
Old brake pads compared to the new. Worn out pretty bad.
Install everything in reverse order. Before installing pads, you have to push the pistons back by either using a piston compression tool shown or a clamp.
