Replacing Rear Brake Pads

Model: Audi A4 B5 - Years 1994-2000
Part: Brake pads

Lift the vehicle on appropriate jack stands and remove the rear wheel (loosen the bolts before lifting the wheel); unscrew the bolts securing the brake caliper (you need a 13 mm and a 15 mm wrench or a ratchet as shown in the video); once the caliper is removed, take out the old pads and retract the caliper piston by turning it clockwise with the appropriate tool; then install the new pads and reattach the caliper by tightening the bolts; clean the hub and apply grease before reinstalling the wheel. Be cautious during the initial braking.

How to change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
