Rear disc and caliper removal
Hello to all you good audi owners. I am looking at changing my rear discs and replacing a offside rear caliper(lucas) as it has seized up quite badly. Can you good people tell me what tools i might need. Any tips and tricks that may help me. Also where might be best to get the replacements.
I have a 2000 W 4.2 Quattro Sport

Hi stestudman,
welcome to the forum. Try this guide on audipages. Parts second hand may be available from A8parts. New pads and rotors are available from Audi, GSF or even Halfords. For upgrades on your braking system read through the forum and sticky.

a half decent socket and spanner set and a brake wind-back tool are all you need for the brake swap (and a decent jack). Caliper swap is pretty straight forward, just make sure you flush it before you drive off.
