Replacing Rear Brake Pads

Model: Audi Tt 8J, MK 2 - Years 2006-2014
Part: Brake pads

Lift the vehicle on appropriate jack stands and remove the rear wheel; then unscrew the retaining bolts of the brake caliper to remove it; next, take out the old pads and use the appropriate tool to retract the piston: in this case, the piston should not be pushed in, but turned clockwise. Then install the new pads and reassemble the brake caliper. Repeat the same process on the other wheel. Pump the brake pedal until it provides the correct resistance and pay attention during the initial braking.

For this operation, you will need to remove the wheel where you will perform the replacement, so it will be convenient to lift your vehicle and place it on jack stands; this way, you will work much more comfortably. To remove the spring that holds the front pads, use a flathead screwdriver. Now, unscrew the bolts that secure the piston to the pads, then remove it, giving you access to both pads that brake the rotor.
