Fitting guide for B7 RS4 rear brake disks and pads?

[mft]

As above, does anyone know of a fitting guide for B7 RS4 rear brake disks and pads? I've searched on here and Google, but found nothing.

Thanks for any help.

Pretty sure b7's rs4's have only got single pot sliding rear calipers so hardly rocket science to remove. Two bolts for the caliper and two for the carrier, then a signle screw holding the disk on. Maybe need a tool to wind the piston back in.

Has it got an electronic parking brake? If so, you'll need VCDS to wind the callipers back.

Not on a B7, last A4 with a proper one.

You'll need to release the epb with vcds. There is a workaround on you tube but I'd not do it. The procedure is on the ros tech website for the epb release. I'm aboout to do the same for my c6 s6

Did you even read the thread? B7 RS4 DOESNT HAVE AN ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE! Clear?

Yeah you'll need VCDS.

Just to update this, in case anyone finds it in a future search... as CupraMax says, the B7 RS4 doesn't have an electronic parking brake - it's just an old-fashioned handbrake.

This is the parts diagram for a B7 RS4:


The caliper is #6.


This is the parts diagram for an Audi with an EPB (this one taken from an A6):


The caliper arrangement is #1, and includes an adjustment motor, #2.

Other points from the thread above:

• A YouTube video looking at EPB release without VAGCOM (Tho' I've clearly not tried what it recommends)
• The Ross-Tech website which was mentioned
