2 ways How to wind back electronic caliper without diagnostic computer on EPB parking hand brake
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 гру 2020
- here we show you two alternative methods to changing your brake pads on cars with electronic parking brake caliper.
if you don't have diagnostic equipment to put it into service mode. or any special wind back tools or piston compressor kits
method 1 requires spade connectors and wiring plus jump leads to connect to a 12v battery.
method 2 requires M8 spline (8mm) to wind the piston. and T30 torque to remover the motor bolts.
both methods here we use only a screwdriver or small pry bar to push the piston after worm gear is wound in.
see our other videos on other ways to do this job here....

Did a 5 year apprenticeship from 1970 to 75, with a Ford main dealer, left the garages in the mid 90s, for better paid job and now retired, never worked on EPB's as never came in until 2001, thank you for showing how to do this, never to old to learn, a great video
Thanks
Undo electric wire, by poppin its safety clip. use 5mm hex and remove motor behind brake. then remove Caliper. if caliper and piston are too tight, use 5mm hex in the back of the piston winder, turn clock wise. once caliper is off then use c clamp on piston an tighten till resistance. turn the 5mm hex clockwise again till resistance, then turn c clamp more till the piston is retracted. do brake pads and chassie, once set an lubed, mount motor back on piston. then place caliper back. just did a set of backs, no codes no issues. its called a manual reset.
Brilliant. Easy and informative without telling us your life story. You’re a legend.
I agree👍
You are a real MVP sir. A hero to be exact. You really saved me with this one. You are truly appreciated. Thank you 🙏🏽. May goodness and mercy follow you all the days of your life.
Such a nice comment. Thank you 😊
I totally agree, you would make a lovely mate, Honest, reliable , clear and concise . Many many thanks. May you live long. blessings.
Thanks a lot. Helped me out in a pinch when I promised to help someone change rear brake pads. Never saw a car with electrical handbrake before :)
Glad it helped
this video should have a couple of million views, fantastic content, glad to see a fellow Irish man helping others and doing well for himself at the same time.
Thank you
Still not many cars had EPB !!
Best one yet. Others run electric with caliper off, then have to push piston back some other way. This is simplest. Well done.
Great help. Just what I needed to know. I'd struggled for a couple of hours before finding this!
This video was an absolute godsend. Save my bacon. Thanks so much. Really appreciate guys like yourselves taking the time to put this onto UA-cam. Thanks.
Thank you so much for coming back to leave your nice feedback 🙂
About to do my wife’s 2013 ds4 rear pads, feel a lot more confident having seen your vid, thank you very much 👍🏻
Hello there, iv just come across your video for electric handbrake rewinding, i have to be HONEST WITH YOU i was loosing sleep about this issue, i thought i was going to be charged a fortune for having my rear brakes done as both sides need discs and pads , YOU SIR ARE A GENIUS , PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOU DO BY HELPING MOTORISTS THAT CANT AFFORD GARAGE BILLS, AND MOST OF ALL BE SAFE WHILE WORKING ON CARS , AND DRIVING ON THE ROADS WITH ALL THE OTHER HALFWITS THAT GOT THERE DRIVING LICENSE OUT OF A LUCKY BAG S.
Technique #2 saved the day for me. Very easy and reliable method. Thank you!
Thanks for coming back to comment 😁
Thank you, brother. I was baffled by opening the caliber in order to fit it over the new brake pads. You sir are a savior.
Glad I could help
Great video, simple and straight to the point, lots of useful information.
Pal you just saved me £230. Made the simple lead and powered it from the cig lighter socket. Worked a treat with powering the piston in. After that - simple job. Really appreciate the video. 👍
So happy to hear it helped you. Thanks for taking the time to comment 😁
Used your video to do my rear brakes on a 2020 Nissan Rouge with EPB. I used the battery and wires method. Worked perfectly. Thanks!!
Showing us both ways in the one video, fantastic. Thanks for that, your a star. 👍👍
Thanks for your comments
Excellent tip using battery to drive back the EPB motors. Worked perfectly on BMW X1 2016 F48 diesel. Foxwell NT530 was supposed to do it but didn’t. Very many thanks for posting this video. It has saved me much heartache and gnashing of teeth.
So good to have your feedback. Thank you
Excellent advice and step by step guide. My only suggestion here is that some EPB equipped cars first need to have the EPB 'parking on' turned off, before working on the rear brakes, as some EPB's automatically apply themselves as soon as you exit the vehicle/open the door.
I will give this a shot. Getting a mechanic to do it with the diagnostic tool is wild 😊
Your vids are brilliant man, novice here who’s trying to learn all the time, amazing tips from lots of your vids
EXCELLENT!!!!
Very clear - very informative - very helpful!!!!
Thank you for taking the time to show this!
Glad it was helpful!
Removing the two bolts holding the electric motor onto the caliper definitely works - tried and tested. Thanks for the upload 👍🏻
However, if you go down this route, make sure everything is completely clean before disassembly, as you don't want any contamination inside the assembly.
Jet wash inside the wheel well, use soft brushes around the caliper, small brushes for the tight areas, and plenty of brake cleaner, then you'll be able to remove the handbrake motor from the caliper.
Glad it helped
It did, absolutely.
Pity though when I got to the caliper carrier to do the discs, the bolts were seized. That was supposed to be the easy bit. Finally got the job done with a bolt extractor socket set and plenty of heat.
Nice, straight forward and to the point 👍
That makes sense to me. Two terminals, reverse to drive one way or the other. Very practical.
Yes standard DC voltage rules. Reverse polarity equals reverse gear
Thank you thank you! Just did an audi 2013 a6 premium quattro 2.0 by removing the motor. Excellent tutorial!
👍👍👍👍 great video. thank you for showing more than 1 way of doing electric brakes!!!!💪💪💪💪
Fair play lad you have saved me the ball ache of paying someone to do it. Great video and brilliant explanations
Glad it helped
Thanks bro for the information process step by step your knowledge is highly appreciated, there’s some mechanics rip you off not been honest for there job
Glad to help
my friend,you are by far the smartest mechanic &the easiest to understand.The way you explain things is straightforward &in layman's terms. thank you so much for posting these very important videos for me to be able to fix the car with EBP brake system.Btw, I like your accent.The way you say Car is very Boston sounding with less R&more ah😂
I did spend a few years in Boston growing up
This was the very first video I watched of yours.
I needed to do the rear discs and pads on my wife's 14 plate Qashqai. Having done them before I ruined discs and pads in 6 months as the EHB hadn't been set correctly.
I used option 2 and the video was very very helpful.
Glad it helped
Thanks for this video! Gonna save me a whole bunch when it comes to changing my pads & Discs on my Audi S5!
Thank you for your support 🙂
Excellent video and well presented. Clear and concise!
Thanks for the video really helped me out. Heads up for any Nissan owners with electric parking brakes, make sure you order pads and rotors that specifically state that they are for electric parking brakes in the description. eBay is much better at including this information than Amazon.
Glad it helped you. Thanks for the comment
Thanks 4 Sharing! Even though I have a scan tool it's good to know alternatives. Thanks again!
Really enjoy your videos from a fellow mechanic 45 years in the trade
Thank you
thank you for the clarification that EPB moves only slightly with inside switch. awesome video. Regards

How did you get on pal?
@Peekawho perfect and thanks again
Great nuggets of useful information, very well presented. Thank you.
Thanks for watching
Just a note on this.
I’ve just done a 2017 Nissan trail. I had to power up the motor and close the pads onto the disc before the handbrake would reset. The hand brake switch was flashing at me and wouldn’t work until I powered up the motor and closed the brake.
Great video cheers for that
thanks for your guidance got what i needed from you fantastic and easy to understand
Thank you for posting this! It saved me a lot of time and money! This is the same principle on any modern car or truck with electronic parking brake.
Glad it helped
Holy... never knew this! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the support
What a great video. Thank you. I’ve always worked on my own cars but I’m about to change the discs and pads on my first car with an e brake. This info was priceless. Good man yourself. Happy new year. Thanks again

Great tutorial video, saved me a bundle.
Good to hear 👍🏻
Awesome. Thanks so much. This really helped me out when I was in a jam.
Thank you for coming back to comment 👍🏻
Thank you, two great tips top lad 👍👨🏻🏭
Thank you
On some vehicles, it is possible to release the electronic parking brake without any tools whatsoever. I've been able to do this on a 2008 Citroen C4 Picasso and a 2005 Renault Espace. I don't know if it would work with calipers that have the actuator motor attached to them. Both the Citroen and Renault had a separate actuator (it was located under the front passenger seat on the Citroen).
Brilliantly demonstrated by you mu dear friend and I am going to replace rotor and brake pads on my Vauxhall Grandland x turbo diesel.Garage wanted £360 to do it. I all the parts for £ 120 from Halfords. I just want to thank you for your help with this project.yours Bob Naik.
Glad it helped
This is awesome, so detailed, great video. I am know you helped many DYI people with your videos. I have been working on my cars for years. Thank you for teaching us something new, specially to those that rather do things ourselves, I wish you many more views.
Glad it was helpful!
Good video recently bought a car with electric parking brake was wondering how I could continue to do my own brakes thank you very much
