I used your vid to guide me thru… did front n rears.. the caliper piston compressor is an awesome lil tool! u definately need some good hand strength/grip to do it though..thanx Arun!
you should really clean the caliper, re lube any slide pins if there are any, and also grease the pads… why go through all this and end up with squeaking brake pads?
Thanks for getting back! That’s the caliper slide pins. I’m after the caliper carrier. The cage that sits around the disc that u bolt the caliper too. Usually there held in place by a hex/Allen head bolt around the 7/8mm size.
At 1:39, I can see that I’m using a 13 mm to turn and a 15 mm to hold. Are those the ones you’re talking about? Sorry, no experience with a B7 … you really should buy the Bentley CD, even though it’s a bit pricey.
Hi. Do you know the size of the caliper carrier mount nuts?? I believe there 8mm. Also is there much difference from the b6 to the b7?? 2004-08 style?? Cheers

Ah, yes. Sorry, I don’t remember — haven’t had to do that in a while. (I have a whole set of hex bits, for that very reason!)
