How do I replace the brake pads on an Audi A6?

I have noticed that my brake pads are starting to wear out, and I want to replace them on my Audi A6 to save on maintenance costs. What are the steps I need to follow to do this effectively?

First, make sure you have all the necessary tools, such as a jack, lug wrench, and brake pad replacement kit. Then, start by loosening the lug nuts on the wheel, lifting the car with the jack, and removing the wheel. Next, remove the old brake pad by unscrewing the caliper bolts and sliding the old pads out. Install the new pads and reassemble everything in the reverse order.

Before starting the replacement, it's important to consult your owner's manual for specific instructions and safety precautions. Also, make sure to properly dispose of the old pads and any brake fluid that may have dripped during the process.

To ensure a smooth braking experience, use a brake cleaner to remove any residue or debris from the brake rotors. Also, consider replacing the brake rotors if they are worn or damaged.
