Default Replacing brake-pads on Audi 80
I read on the 20V.org that on the Audi 90 special discbrake tool is needed only for rear brakes to spin the e-brake cylinder back in place. Is the same true for the Audi 80? I only need to replace the front ones.

Thanks

Front pads require no special tools.

Default One more question....
Thank you very much MikTip.
I may decide to replace all of them due to the car sitting for too long.

Is there a specific order I'll have to bleed the brake lines?

Default I did my Audi 90 with 5' C-Clamp. I did not bleed air for pad replacement.
Runs smooth for 3 months till now
