rear brakepad changing
I tried to change brake pads in my '98 A6 2.4 FWD.. but was unsuccessful..
I removed the cylinder assembly by removing the two bolts.. but was unable to fix the new pads since i couldnt move the piston in, to get enough room for the new pads..
I believe it has to be turned clockwise to move it in.. pls correct me if im wrong... or can anyone tell me the procedure for changing??
thanks in advance...

RE: rear brakepad changing
I bought the above block at autozone. You have to grind the ears a little on the face that just about matches up. But make sure you "catch" the threads by pushing in when you're turning. I didn't "catch" them and spun the piston around about 10 times. Only takes about 3-4 turns to fully turn in the piston.
Good luck,
