it was my second brake job for me..... took about three hours and a six pack [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

you will need the tool to retract and spin the piston on the rear brakes... make sure u open the brake fluid reservoir first

the rears are a little trickier... you might need a tap and die just to clean the threads on some bolts.. mine had a ton of audi locktite on them and wouldnt start back in without feeling like it was cross threading... i cleaned the threads and they went right in!

oh and dont be scared to beat on the rotors when taking them off... some of mine were stuck on pretty tight! but use a rubber mallet!

 

Just get a giant "C" clamp, and you'll be fine. You only need the piston tool when working on the rear pads.

 

If the old rotors were worn down a bit then yes you will need the piston tool to put the newer and thicker rotors on. Advanced Auto Parts lets you borrow those tools also.

 

I didn't know the B6 had that annoying screw on the rotor. I wouldn't recommend using an impact tool on those screws, strip them and your fvcked.

 

yeah just remember to get that tool to turn that back calipers back into the pistons otherwise you will get nowhere.

 

on a 1-10 id say 4 or a 5. only because you may get the stuborn bolt and you need to buy or rent a caliper tool for the rear caliper.
