    rear pad/rotor replacement...need advice!

    Hey all...
    so i've got my pads and rotors ready to install, but I couldn't find a good DIY page for rear brakes.
    I guess I don't really need one, but I could use some advice about things to look out for; things that I might not be expecting that are exclusive to S4 rear brakes, etc.
    I've replaced pads before on a MKIII Jetta, so at least I'm not completely ignorant.


    This one:

    seems to be fantastic for front brakes though

    Anyways, sorry if this a FAQ/sticky/repeat, but I appreciate the help!

    It's a cake walk. You just need the tool to spin and press the pistons back into the calipers. You can rent it from Autozone or somewhere similar. Otherwise, you just remove the wheel, and two caliper bolts, press the piston back in and replace...
