Default *** HELP, Brake install, HELP***
I'm getting ready to change Front and Rear Pads and Rotors. The only "cars" I have done this on are a 73 chevy pickup and a 79 jeep. So, are there any warnings or odd procedures I need to perform? Wheel bearing problems... special buttons, levers, switches... Any thing?... A relitively detailed walk through would be appreciated. Sorry for possible spelling miscues... THANKS!

Default
the rear calipers will require a brake tool, the piston twists when compressing

Default note: you can "rent" this tool from Autozone and they will refund
the rent when you return it, so it ends up being in effect free.

Default Note that C5 A6 models have two different types of front brakes. Different procedures for the
different types.
