pad and rotor replacement procedures?
In the tech section it shows quattro replacement only so what am I looking for on my FWD rear?

The major difference is, your front track's rear wheel bearings are part of the hub/rotor assembly..
which means, you're either going to:
1. Get new bearings, drive in the outer races, and pack them, and install the bearings.
2. Reuse your bearings that are already installed, not reccommended, because you are likkely to damage the outer races as you drive them out of the hub.

The rotors are good except for a very small lip on the outer edge..
I have not measured but I am expecting to just smooth that down by slightly resurfacing.
So If I do not replace the rotors, then I should be able to follow the procedures of pad replacement for the quattro in the tech section?
