Default Anyone who is friendly and knowledgable with brake replacement, I need some help.
I dont want to pay the stealership to do my brakes, and I would also like to learn how to do them myself. I have a B5 S4, and if anyone would be willing (and has tools and a day), I would greatly appreciate some help. I'm in college, so I dont have anywhere to do it myself.

I have done the front several times, but not the back.

just pads?!? Nothing man, would be glad to show you. Doing a suspension install this weekend but you can stop by for a quick brake job. Got everything you need to do it. In Berwyn here. cvtech@spymac.com if you want.
