A6 54reg rear pads

[m12kop]

Help needed, i'm trying to fit some rear pads to a 54reg A6,any ideas how to set the piston to allow pads in? not tried push and twist incase that was wrong! Thanks in advance.

you need a caliper rewind tool, halfrauds have them...

I've got one but didn't try using it because there were no pin holes in the end of the piston and wasn't sure if the electronic hand brake reset in the same way as a manual hand brake.

Just had the rear pads done on my '06 A8l.

I understand that the rear calipers are wound back electronically via the MMI and plug in diagnostic thingy.

If its got electric hand brake, The electric motors have to be wound back first with diagnostic computer, then the pistons them selves need to be pushed back, not turned like most rear pads.

If its got normal manual cable hand brake, just wind them in like normal.

If you want to do this yourself get hold of VAG-Com from Ross-tech.com.
It's a very good VAG diagnostic tool.
