Default Tools needed for B6 A4 front brake job.

I'm going to replace my front pads and rotors this evening for the first time, and I was wondering if anyone might be able to give a quick rundown of what tools I'll need for the job.

I'm mainly concerned with the bolts holding the calipers on. Are they inside hex? Outside hex? What size?

I just don't want to get in there and then have to give up because I don't have the right tool.

B6A4 3.0QMS
312mm front rotors

Thanks guys.

Default The one thing that write up does not seem to indicate is a need for caliper grease

which seems to be the one item those with noisy pads have forgotten to do.

Clean that caliper pin and grease it.

And use anti-squeal on the backs of the pads.

Of course. I've done brakes many times. Just never on this car.
