    Brake Job - Need Help!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I am changing all rotors and pads on my 04 A4 avant. I have read all the DIY and all say the rotor should just come off after the Caliper bracket is removed. There are no bolts remaining on the front rotor and I have no idea why it won't budge. Anyone else experience this? Need help asap please.

    Thanks! I started on the other front wheel and the rotor came right off. I really had to hammer the drivers side rotor off though. let some good frustration out on it. Brakes are done!

    I'm doing the back and they are 8mm hex key 'allen' so I would guess the fronts would be the same.
