Removal and installation brake discs (Audi A4 B6)

Brake discs should be replaced on both sides at the same time. Replacing the brake discs on only one side can cause uneven braking action. Removing the brake discs on the front and rear axles is basically the same. In general, you only need to remove the brake caliper, and the brake disc will be in front of you. Please note that a special tool is required to press the piston of the brake cylinder on the rear caliper.

1. Place the car on jack stands and remove the wheel.



2. Front axle: Loosen the brake caliper mounting screws. Remove the caliper from the wheel bearing housing in the direction of the arrow. Hang the caliper on a wire to the body; the caliper should not hang on the brake hose. Rear axle: Remove the caliper and brake pads as described above. Do not unscrew the brake hose under any circumstances, otherwise you will have to bleed the brake system.

3. Remove the brake disc. If the disc is rusted, strong blows with a hammer will help, but only if you intend to mount a new disc.

4. Before installing a new disc, clean the hub. The new brake disc may be protected from corrosion by a layer of varnish, remove this varnish with a solvent.



5. Screw on the brake caliper using new self-locking screws.

6. Mount the wheel.
