Hi - I am almost done replacing the rear pads and rotors on my 2009 Audi A3. Can anyone provide the torque setting for the brake caliper bolts (i.e., the triple square/spline bolt) and for the carrier bolts that hold the caliper to the bracket? I have read that it is 140 ft lbs and 22 ft lbs, respectively. Is that correct? Also does anyone have advice or recommendations on how to torque the brake caliper bolts with a 25 inch torque wrench. My car is only jacked up 15 inches or so and I am having a really hard time visualizing how my torque wrench, which is two feet long, can get in there and torque it all the way to 140 ft lbs.

Thank you!

make sure you get the brake piston retractor tool that rotates as it pushes the piston back. they're available as a free rental at most chain auto parts stores like autozone, o'reilly's

Thank you findalex! These links were exactly what I needed and the tip on renting the piston retractor saved me a few bucks too. Was able to complete the job over the weekend. Much appreciated!
