    Changing brake pads...need instructions

    I want to be able to change my pads at the track, but I need some direction and a list of tools needed. Does anyone have a video or step by step photos? I have not changed brake pads for over 40 years. Please write slowly.

    Sticks..for compressing pistons if needed, Large allen for removing calipers, Punch for removing/pushing out pins that hold front pads in,short,short pin tool for rear pads in case you try to change pads without removal of rear calipers...TOO much work to be doing on track day...unless you have a pit crew ! I use my EBC yellow race /street pads as DDs. First track day with these pads on Friday. But the pads have already impressed me greatly.All in all the easiest brake job I have ever done. Thank you Audi engineering!! \"/

    This is very similar to the R8's brake change. It's my RS6's change, but the overall stuff you have to go through is pretty much the same.
