Drill? you have to modify the cube a little with a dremel.
If you look on the cube, it has two slots. Choose the one that almost looks like it will fit the audi piston. That shave a little off the ends, till it fits on the piston. Then attach a 10 or 12" 3/8 extension onto the cube. Hold the caliper in one hand, and turn the rachet and apply pressure as you turn clockwise if I believe. And you'll see the piston compress. It also helps if you take the cap off the brake fluid reservior, under the hood.
hope this helps.

Also, I used a bar clamp from Sears to apply the pressure.
That and a deep socket worked like a charm. Here's the link to the clamp.<ul><li><a href="http://www.sears.com/sr/product/summary/productsummary.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1362402664.103 0672898@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccjadcgdidlgkicehgcem gdffmdfim.0&vertical=TOOL&fromAuto=YES& ;bidsite=&pid=00931484000">http://www.s
