HELP! Replacing S4 brake pads...I'm stuck!

Aug 24, 2003 3 Replies

Greetings,



I've removed the wheel and the spring clip. I've found the black cap on the upper and lower sections of the calipers and I pulled the caps off. AudiWorld seems to indicate that I need a 7mm hex key to remove a couple of bolts under the caps to separate the calipers and get to the pads. When I insert the hex key, it seems like there is nothing to turn (i.e. the hex key doesn't seat into a bolt head). What am I doing wrong? I've tried different sized hex keys to no avail.



TIA!!!

Don't you have an inspection mirror, so you can see whether they're allen or Torx?

They're allen on a 1997 A4, if that counts. :)
