Front Brake Replacement How-to

**KfabR8** · 09-30-2009 08:59 PM

Here's a link to a little project I did today: How to replace your front brakes.

I replaced my front rotors with new OEM rotors and replaced the pads with EBC Reds.

I like the feel of the pads thus far. They're still very new and are just starting to bed in.

Hope it helps someone.

Same procedure with the fronts on my A6 2.7T?

Bought new brakes today, and gonna change tomorrow. :)

You should have them powder coated first.

high heat ceramic paint will do the same thing. just don't get it on the rotor surface.

I wish RS6 rotors lasted long enough to rust

Is there a good diy howto for the 2.7 biturbo brakes?
My brakes are not like the brakes in this howto. :(

anyone got a tutorial for the 2004 model?

**RaudiA6** · 04-16-2010 04:22 PM

how is it different?

It uses the 2 pad setup with the NON-HP2 calipers. and I have yet to see how to remove the long springs on the sides or if i am removing the 21mm bolts for the caliper or the 2 rubber capped 7mm hex bolts I believe? not sure..
