Rear Brake Pad Change - How easy is it?

[jmt356]

Hi Chaps!

I need to swap the rear pads on my A4 avant - just wondered how easy it is to do? I've heard I may need a special tool to push the piston back in - if that's the case, any recommendations as to where you can get it from?

Cheers for all your advice!

PS: I'd qualify myself as a vaguely competent spanner!

Yep the rear calipers do need to be wound back in.

Not difficult but you do need a special tool.

If you haven't got a contact in the trade I'm almost sure Laser tools do one.
