Especially Audi brake calipers and ESPECIALLY self-adjusting rear brakes.
I have a 90q20V. I want to do a complete caliper overhaul on a set of G60s that Steve Mills gave me so I can stick them on there. And hey, while the whole thing is apart, why not do the rears, too? I hear the job is dead simple.
Well, brakes are kind of important, and if it's gonna be simple, then I won't hafta be dead.
I've seen some generalized write ups, but if anyone knows of one with pictures, that would be great. Even detailed step-by-step for the rears without pictures might be nice...

The basic process is simple- force the piston all the way out (compressed air through the bleeder works well), clean thoroughly, and reassemble with new seals and a new bleeder screw. Pics of ATE and Girling rebuilds at the link below.
The e-brake isn't that complicated, as long as it's not completely fubared.<ul><li><a href="http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=39965">Caliper rebuild illustrated</a></li></ul>
