Part: Brake pads
Operation: How to replace front brake pads on Audi A3

In this video tutorial we can see how it is possible to replace the front brake pads on Audi A3. The first thing we need to do is to purchase new brake pads; next step we must unscrew the cap of the brake fluid reservoir, loosen the wheel bolts and then lift the vehicle with a hydraulic jack and place safety stands, or with a mobile bridge. Using a size 17 socket wrench, completely unscrew the wheel bolts and remove the wheel from its seat. Remove the dust caps from the brake caliper guides, use a crowbar. Using a HEX No. H7 wrench (RATCHET WRENCH) unscrew the brake caliper attachment. With the crowbar we have to separate the brake pads. Now we need to remove the brake caliper. In order to avoid depressurization of the system we must use a wire to tie the caliper to the suspension without disconnecting it from the brake hose. Remove the brake pads and replace them.
