- This is a 2019 Audi Q7 but should be the same for other years also. This is how to remove the front caliper to do the front brakes. There is a special bolt that Audi does not want you to remove. So just take off the whole mounting bracket that has 21mm headed bolts. The torque spec for the 21mm headed bolts is 196 Nm.

Thanks your video very 👍 he was very good at how to change the brakes without complicating, well done. 0:15 👏👏👏
Awesome thanks cause Porsche was a trip square and I don't know what the heck that all about but glad to see the real deal. Thanks bud.
Sigh...we removed the special bolts (bought the 7 pin tool) now Audi voided entire car warranty and telling us we now need to replace both calipers. Seems very strange as only a carrier bracket. Thanks for the video...wish I had seen this prior to the removal.
I would never own one.
What? No. There's no way that couldn't legally happen, at least not in the US. Voiding warranty is only limited to the part involved. You can't void radio warranty, for example when you screw up the brake, just saying.
Why did you even mention it to Audi?
Quelle risque ils y a de dévisser les 2 boulons spéciaux ?
@@taxidenis43 None at all...but they (Audi) deemed it enough to consider the warranty void.
Thanks for the video, very helpful!
Thanks brother!
Not gonna lie, i just texted my snap-on guy if he could get me a 13.5mm 7 point socket
It’s not like I’m a Porsche Tech with +20 years under my belt or anything 🤦♂️
Thanks 🙏
I know I did not see the other bolts at first either. Thanks for watching
Love it hope my etron also has similar caliper. It has 41k miles and squeak like tractor trailer 😂
Did you ever get it to stop squeaking? Mine is doing the same, super embarrassing!
Thanks man
But how do I press the fluid back if I’m replacing a new pad
If you have the caliper off I use a big pair of channel lock pliers and a piece of wood on the out side so I don't scratch the caliper.
G automotive, is it possible for you to confirm if 2019 Audi e-tron has the same caliper? Look wise, they seem the same. But pls confirm if possible.
I did look it up for you and it suppose to be the same. Thanks for watching
Hello, wich logiciel do you use for cars repair? Thanks in advance
Mitchell on demand
si vous pouviez avoir référence boulon et couple de serrage
Car ils ont était dévissé
Merci
They do not have that. If you loosen the bolts that you were not supposed to take out they want you to replace the calipers now. The 21mm headed bolts are 196nm or 145ft lbs
Did you reuse the bolts or replaced them as recommended by Audi. They don’t appear to be TTY bolts.
It said to replace the bolts if they are self locking, then it said if reusing bolts to clean them and torque them to 196 nm or 145 ft lbs. They say one thing and contradict in the next sentence. They are really big bolts I just reuse them.
Thank you that’s what I did.
What year is the Q7? I have a 2019 Q7 and wondering if it’s the process.
This is a 2019 and this is how to remove the caliper.
Best place to look for the front rotor?
Shop around on the internet.
Did you have to use a scan tool in order to turn off the electric park break?
Yes you do if you are doing the rear brakes. Thanks for watching
Good to know, thanks!
Hello
What’s the 21mm bolt torque specs?
196nm or 145ft lbs
I've searched the internet high and low for the torque value on those bolts. I kept seeing 270 nm / 200 ft lbs based on the little info I could find on forums. Do you know if that was the torque for the bolts you said not to remove? I'm so confused with the contradicting info. Did you get the 196nm/145 ft lbs from a repair manual? Any clarity you could provide would be very much appreciated. Thanks@@TheGAutomotiveAndMore
@@brians2918 They do not give the torque for the bolts because you are not suppose to remove them. That is why It has a socket head that no one has. The 196nm/145ft is for the 21mm headed bolt that holds the caliper bracket to the spindle. That is right out of Shopkey pro.
You're awesome. Thank you so much for clarifying. Great vids! @@TheGAutomotiveAndMore
Why doesn't Audi want you to remove those special bolts? And have the common brake squealing on our 2018 Q7.
Because they said so.
The internet can save you thousands if you handy enuff to work with tools. No such thing as a shade tree! So what then he's a shade tree at home but a professional at Pep boys or a dealership?! Make it make sense?!
I don't know
