I recently purchased a 2020 Audi A5 and need to change the rear brake pads. Is there a way to do so without using a car jack or lifting the entire car?
ReplyYes, there is a way to change the rear brake pads on a 2020 Audi A5 without lifting the entire car. You can use a set of rear brake caliper compression tools to compress the caliper and create enough space to remove and replace the pads. It's a simple and efficient solution.
Unfortunately, on the 2020 Audi A5, it is not recommended to change the rear brake pads without lifting the car. The clearance between the brake pad and the wheel is very tight, making it difficult to compress the caliper and remove the pads. It's safer and easier to use a car jack and lift the car to properly change the pads.
I had the same issue with my 2020 Audi A5 and found that using a ratcheting caliper spreader made the job much easier. It allows you to apply pressure and compress the caliper without lifting the entire car. Just be sure to double check the clearance between the pads and the wheel before finishing the job.
