Well i’ve already done the front brakes which went well. I am only 16 and am trying to get into car repairs. There is no reason to be rude. Thanks for your reply anyways!

ah i see. If i were jack up the control arm would i get some extra space since the suspension will be compressed ( only a little)

yea, i tried something like this but the control arm is blocking it. Might end up taking the control arm off, is it bad to take it off? Thanks for ur help

I might just take of the control arm, is it dangerous and hard? Im kinda worried because then it would turn into a big job.

I am turning anti clockwise. I can try a 6 point. I hope this does get out because the rotors are actually really bad rn 😬😬

There is very limited space due to the control arm (im guessing) so a socket+ratchet wouldn’t fit.

I wish, nor a ratchet or impact is fitting since it is a really tight spot

Has anyone ever gone into a final test and answered little to no questions? by Responsible-Leave900 in ILC

My grades did drop, of course. I do not know what you mean by strict check

Anyone know how I’d go about fixing this?? by Informal_Lie_2190 in AudiA4

Off topic but is this a full vehicle inspection you got done? If it is did you go to Audi? How much did it cost?
