Replace front brakes and rotors. Apply to Audi S4 & S5 B9 2018+ models with 6-piston calipers. Probably works for 4M Q7/Q8, B9 Q5/SQ5/S4/S5/RS5, C8 A6/A7, and D5 A8 too.
Brake pads upgraded to EBC Yellow Stuff. Rotors upgraded to ECS Tuning 2-Piece Rotors.
0:00 Intro
0:49 Remove wheel and raise car
1:56 Remove caliper
5:34 Remove brake pads
6:50 Replace brake rotor
8:37 Install brake pads
12:56 Install caliper
15:42 Install wheel
16:18 Summary
Tips:
* 12/11/2022 A good tip: Turn your wheel to the maximum when changing calipers. It will be easier to reach.
* 11/17/2023 A tip from comments: "You don't need that fancy $70 M10 TZN Stubby set. Turn the steering wheel to gain access to the bracket and caliper bolts. This will give you a full foot in there. For example, when working on the right front brake, turn the wheel to the left to access those bolts without special tools."
Tools:
* Wheel cap removal tool.
* 17mm socket to remove wheel bolts.
* 12-point M10 bit socket to remove the bracket.
* 13/16 inch or 21mm socket to remove caliper.
* 6-point T30 bit socket to remove the rotor bolt.
* Caliper Piston Spreader Tool.
* Brake caliper grease.
* Rust remover.
* Wrench or breaker bar to loosen bolts.
* Torque wrench to tighten bolts.
Tool links:
* 6-point T30 bit socket: Schwaben Complete 26 Pc Stubby Socket Driver Set www.ecstuning.com/b-schwaben-...
Tightening specs:
* Wheel bolts: 120Nm
* Caliper bolts: 200Nm

You don't need that fancy $70 M10 TZN Stubby set. Turn the steering wheel to gain access to the bracket and caliper bolts. This will give you a full foot in there. For example, when working on the right front brake, turn the wheel to the left to access those bolts without special tools. I used the M10 bit from a $13 cheapo 'CASOMAN 9-Piece Low Profile Impact Triple Square Bit Socket Set' (amazon) and an old chunky husky wrench. Even this low profile kit is not needed, any old M10 laying around will fit. For the 21mm caliper bolt an 18" breaker bar is perfect once the wheel is turned, but a 24" would work too.

Great informative and detailed video. How do you like the ECS 2 piece crossed grilled rotors? Any squealing or noticeable deminnished brake performance? Is there excessive brake dust with the yellow pads compared to stock? Would you go in another direction if you go do it over? Cheers
@stevenstrackdays2687
@stevenstrackdays2687 2 жыл бұрын
I use them on race track only. So, squealing is not a concern and reduced performance is normal on track. They produce tons of more dust. Not a good pair with EBC yellowstaff which are street pads. I may pick less aggressive rotors (grilled holes but no lines) in future because it consumes pads too quickly.

Great video Steven. Do you recommend changing the brake fluid? Also what tires and brake pads would you recommend? Is it a bad idea to upgrade the pads and keep stock rotors ?
@stevenstrackdays2687
@stevenstrackdays2687 3 жыл бұрын
Brake fluid changing yes. I uploaded a video about brake fluid. I'm still trying different tires and pads to see which won't be melted. Haven't found ideal ones. Stock rotors are ok. The concern is that they may be overheated and then out of the original shape a little. An upgraded rotor with better heat resistant is better, or get two-piece rotors. My drilled and slotted rotors are overkill. They consume pads 2 times faster. They do have great performance, but too expensive. I regret...

Hi , Steven, appreciate your great video to demonstrate how to replace the pad and rotor. I’m looking for a second hand RS brake for my A6, do anything need to consider ? I saw this calliper is not same as traditional Bremble one , this one is one piece manufactured, is this calliper can’t be rebuild if defect?
@stevenstrackdays2687
@stevenstrackdays2687 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Martin. I'm not sure about A6, and I don't have repair manuals for A6. Here's my video about how to find repair manuals: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p8x1gbumkrHZimg.html From my experience of A4/A5 series, RS5 has larger rotor size than S5, and S5 has larger rotor size than A5. Wheel size might also be different so that large rotor can fit and won't hit outer rim. I don't know about rebuilding calipers. If I plan to change my calipers, I'll probably use Brembo one instead of Audi RS one for my track days.

Very informative but as a mechanic I know you’re not supposed to hit the surface of the rotor with a hammer to try and loosen it up. That will cause rotor warping, which will result in replacing your rotors or resurfacing them. Instead, loosen them up by hitting the face of the rotor where lug nut pattern is, not the actual rotor surface itself.
