1996-2001 Audi A4 front big brake upgrade installation
Caliper, hat and arm finish Disclaimer
Many wheel cleaning solutions contain strong acids that can damage the finish on any slide and anodized aluminum finish, especially coating equipment. Check availability for adverse effects to a small amount of the cleaner on an inconspicuous spot. Avoid spraying and wash the cleaning solution as soon as possible. STOPTECH is not liable for damages, caliper, hat or bracket finish due to aggressive chemicals.
Level, stable and clean surface, suitable to support the vehicle on Jack stands are to be used for installation.
Step 1. Jack the car
Note- Audi has a very rigid chassis and suspension. Jacking one corner of the vehicle may cause one or more wheels to raise from the ground. Make sure that the vehicle is stable and secure before starting any work. Consult vehicle owners for the proper location of the Jack and support. Apply the parking brake and block the rear wheels. Break the lug nuts on both front wheels with 17 mm socket to jacked up the car.
NEVER LEAVE ANY VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPORTED ONLY BY A JACK, ALWAYS USE JACK STANDS.
Step 2. Remove wheels
Once the car at convenient height, remove the front wheels. Place lug bolt back through the rotor, to prevent it from accidentally falling off.
Step 3. Delete a connection inside the brake line
WARNING: brake fluid will damage most of the painted surfaces. Immediately clean any spilled brake fluid from painted surfaces. Place a drain pan or a few rags directly under shock absorbers brake line. If the area around the relationship of a dirty, clean the Brake cleaner or detergent
Note-make sure that the lid is securely installed on the master cylinder. If the CAP loose or removed, it is likely to dribble more fluid.
