you guys know about the twist in brake calipers audis have, i need ur help with those
i was trying to replace them today, got all the right parts. got the brake caliper tool, problem is that the piston is pushed so far out that the took isnt fitting in inorder for me to push/twist it inn. im stuck now because my old pads were soo worn that one of them fell out already (it wasnt there when i took the wheel off) the other side had decent amount left. dont know why only ONE SIDE of the ONE ROTOR went out anyways; is there anyother way to push the caliper in? even a little so that the tool fits, i need about 2cm -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer

 Thats the cube. It costs like $5 at autozone or Advance Auto. Or you can use this:  But that's probably what you're already using. The cube goes into the grooves and then you put a 3/8's ratchet in the end where the square is (or an extension) and turn it. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles.
