I typed out everything I needed for a rear brake pad/rotor change on my 2009 Audi A4 Quattro Prestige with a 3.2L V6. (Just in case anyone else needs an exact list)

🧰 Tools/Parts List 🛠

Low profile floor jack (or use a lift if you have access to one)
2x jack stands (the safest method is to use a pinch weld jack stand adapter to ensure proper fitment/ I use this one from Amazon called “Dutison Jack Pad Adapter for Jack Stand Universal Rubber Slotted Frame Rail Pinch welds protector”)
2x wheel chocks (be sure to set these BEFORE you lift the vehicle)
18mm tire iron/air wrench/impact gun (or a deep well socket for lug nuts *11/16” SAE works as well*)
Magnetic LED lamp (mount in suspension to illuminate the wheel well)
Small flathead screwdriver (to unclip parking brake connector plug)
WD-40 or Blaster PB Spray Penetrating Catalyst (to loosen everything up and begin the soaking of the rotor)
Bungee cord or tie-down (to hang the caliper/parking brake motor from the suspension)
Breaker bar (bolts may be excessively rusty)
Torque wrench (with a 25lb-200lb range to ensure everything is torqued to factory spec)
13mm crescent wrench (to remove the caliper slide bolts)
15mm crescent wrench (to hold the slide bolts for removal)
Large flathead screwdriver (to remove the worn brake pads)
18mm crescent wrench (to remove caliper mounting bracket)
Torx T-30 socket (to remove the brake rotor bolt/ and parking brake motor bolts)
3/8” ratchet (for the Torx socket)
Rubber mallet (to remove the worn brake rotor)
Sand paper/sanding block/file (to remove surface rust on the wheel hub and the calipers)
Permatex Copper Brake Lube (to stop seizing)
Brake cleaner spray (I prefer CRC Brākleen® to remove the anti-rust oil on the new rotors AA Part # 05089)
New brake rotor (AA Part # YH235579P)
Torx T-40 socket (to rotate the internal mechanism in the parking brake motor)
Carriage clamp (to retract the caliper piston)
2x road noise reduction clips (these should be included into he brake pads box)
2x new brake pads (AA Part # GNAD1386)
NOTE:

another viewer has stated that you're able to just use 12v power to retract the piston. I've never tried this method. I assume just by disconnecting the connection and applying power to the terminals to power the motor to retract the piston.

hope this helps.
