I got the Mintex Reds and am about to change all four wheels, but it seems like I saw some gotchas on the rears. Anybody care to enlighten me on the tricks involved? Unfortunately I don't have the repair manual. My next $100 I guess.
Thanks

...@ss, depending on how many miles you have on your A4.
I needed to use this tool:

Which I purchased at Pep Boys.

How much is the Audi part?
I had one for my SAAB that wasn't too $$$. It was a flat metal wrench with a concave disk on the end with two small rods sticking out of it, much like the side of Andy's cube.
