Rear Rotor replacement

Hi All,

my 2009 s6 needs new brake rotors to pass inspection. I would have done the replacement myself, however, I am lacking the time.

I received a call from the shop that the repair requires unbolting the rear shocks and adding 1.5 hrs of labour. Looking at my manual, there is no mention across the manual that this needs to be done. I get that the lower bracket bolt is a pain in the ass to reach…but has anyone seen this in their manuals or experienced this?

I use the e-manual.

thanks

Jeff
