Is the front brake pad change on the A4 in the tech sec. a good representation of doin it on an S4?
I ordered some Mintex pads from AWE and will install them soon enough but just wanted to follow a good write-up for my first time doing a brake pad change since my '90 Jetta when I was 17.. not sure what is universally done and what is specific to the s4.<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/wheel25.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/tech/wheel25.shtml</a</li></ul>

The rear is the same, but the front on the S4 is much easier
There is a metal clip/bail on the outside of the S4 caliper, once you unhook it and swing it out of the way, you can pull the pads out.
I have no good pic offhand.

this is it.. just a clamp on the front (1-st pic) and pads slide off.
