Hello. I have an Exeo 2.0tdi 143bhp SE Tech.
I have been researching changing the rear pads and discs, and all seems starightforward, so I started doing the job at the weekend.
After reading some on line guides ( for Audi A4 B7's) that said you have to take the caliper mounting bracket off to get the discs off, I was very pleased to see a consensus that in fact you don't. I saw videos showing that you can wangle the old disc off with the caliper bracket still in place. This is a big deal because the lower bolt for the caliper bracket is a real pig to get at due to lack of space.
Anyway, I got the caliper and pads off no problem, but there was no way I could get the old disc off without taking off the caliper bracket, and due to the limited space that would mean moving the damper out of the way first, and with my arthritic joints I didn't fancy that, so ended up putting it back together again !
Does anybody know for sure - do you have to take the caliper bracket off first?
Many thanks.
