How do I change the rear brake pads on my Audi A4?

I've noticed that my rear brake pads on my Audi A4 are starting to wear out and I want to change them myself. I have some basic knowledge about cars but have never changed brake pads before. Can someone guide me through the process step by step?

Hi Hannah! Changing brake pads on an Audi A4 is actually a pretty simple process. First, make sure you have all the necessary tools and materials, which usually include a jack, jack stands, new brake pads, and brake cleaner. Next, remove the wheel of the affected brake and support the car with jack stands. Then, use a socket wrench to remove the caliper bolts and carefully remove the caliper. After that, remove the old brake pads and clean the caliper and rotor with brake cleaner. Now, place the new brake pads in the caliper and reattach it to the rotor. Finally, put the wheel back on and repeat the process for the other side. Make sure to test your brakes before driving. Good luck!

Hey Hannah, I'm sorry to hear about your brake pads. You can definitely change them yourself with a little help. Start by loosening the lug nuts on your wheel, then jack up the car and remove the wheel. Next, use a C-clamp to compress the caliper piston and remove the retaining clips and old brake pads. Then, install the new brake pads and reattach the caliper. Make sure everything is tightened properly and repeat the process on the other side. Don't forget to brake gently a few times to reset the piston. You got this!

Hi Hannah, changing brake pads on an Audi A4 is quite similar to changing them on most other cars. Make sure to have the proper tools and follow the steps carefully. And don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. I suggest looking for video tutorials online for a better visual guide. Good luck!
