Removal and installation the front brake caliper (Audi 100 C4)

Both calipers are reinforced with so-called ribbed bolts. This bolt has a surface with small splines behind the hexagonal head, which holds the bolt in place after tightening, i.e. it will not loosen on its own. Do not replace these bolts with others under any circumstances. Since these bolts can be reused, their splined surface must be well cleaned.

Place the front of the car on stands and remove the wheel.

Remove the brake pads as described above and secure the caliper with a piece of wire. You can also remove the hose from the caliper if it needs to be replaced.

Remove the bolts at the top and bottom of the inner side of the caliper carrier and remove the carrier.

Installation is performed in the reverse order of removal. Insert the brake pads in accordance with the instructions for the caliper. After completing the work, bleed the air from the brake system.
