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.

I’m sure they aren’t allen at this point. I tried every metric size allen wrench in the set from 8mm down… I’m going to get back in there with a Torx set after work today before I punt… Thanks! =) Elroy 2000 S4

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!!!

I believe those are actually Torx head bolts…

Jeez Elroy, I figured you aren’t bright , I did not realize you are that stupid and that cheap. And you, stinkyhead, had audacity to talk to me about WalMart University and lecture me on giving a break to small business owners. Now you fucked up, you are obviously clueless and have no idea what you are doing, so you are here to get a freebie from the small business owners you care so much about. Hire a mechanic to do what you are obviously not qualified to do. It does require intelligence to fix cars. Call you roommate’s uncle for christ sake, he’ll give you a discount.

Ah…any idea on size? Elroy

I give no credence to your opinion of my cognative abilites. >And you, stinkyhead, had audacity to talk to me about >WalMart University and lecture me on giving a break to small business >owners.
Sure did, and I stand by every word. >Now you fucked up, you are obviously clueless and have no idea what you are >doing, so you are here to get a freebie from the small business owners you >care so much about.
No. No fuck ups. I drove it around tonight after I put it back together. I was smart enough to know when to stop, admit I was in over my head and ask for help…obviously a lesson in life you have yet to learn. >Hire a mechanic to do what you are obviously not qualified to do.

At least I’m man enough to try to learn to do things, instead of jipping other people who would do the work for me. For your information, if I can’t get it done within the next few days, I will call him. I won’t ask for a discount either. He deserves to make a living too. Now grow up D O G…and place a bandage over your wounded ego. Elroy 2000 S4 – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Greetings, > I’ve removed the wheel and the spring clip.

No, sorry, the Bentley CD didn’t have the head size for the caliper guide pins…
