it's as easy as giving ur baby a kiss. if the lugs won't come off, just jump on it lol. and make sure u use the jack correctly unlike some other dude on here b4 who jacked his car up with the jack on the sideskirt

Get a Co-worker or a friend to help you out , call in a favor if you can and tell them to bring an extra jack. I find the Audi jacks Ill designed.. , remember there are jack points under the car. Shouldn't take you more then 15 minutes tops.

It's an odd design for a jack , not a typical design. rather then it laying on the floor and an arm jacking up your car it kinda stands and lifts up your car , If your on a angle/incline road its hard to work with. I don't like it at all.

http://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/128278.phtml <- Jack Issues , not to worry you but yeah. replace the Audi jack with something else.
