You can also crack open the bleeder screw to make turning easier.

 

I just did my rear pads ("02 A4 Quattro 3.0)and rented the tool from autozone with the option to purchase the for the rental cost $35. I spent more time taking off the wheels then actually changing the pads.I opted to buy 'cause in the spring i'm painting my calipers and replacing all 4 rotors with vented/slotted ones.

 

We got it. I just had to call up Bruce Banner and then kick him in the ***** so he could hulk out and turn it for me
