I just wanna thank you for getting right into the video without a dramatic 2 minute overly produced intro. Great info! I don't have a jump box so I'll have to try to release them from the cars dashboard somehow.
Excellent tutorial that saved me a lot of time and money! The use of a 12 volt battery to manipulate the electric brake worked like a charm. Thank you!
Merci pour cette excellente vidéo. L'astuce de calibrage des feins de stationnement par actionnement du frein à partir de l'habitable et ce à plusieurs reprises m'a été très utile. Bravo
If you are not comfortable with the wires etc, I just put the car in neutral (while running) on the jackstands and unplugged the motor. Then put it back in Park.
Many thanks, although i wish i came across this video before i tried to replace myself. Didn't remove the connector before removing the calibre and pads which then the EPB self activated and pushed out the piston fully ! Doh ! Managed to get the piston engage and pushed back just enough to get new pads back and brakes seem to working properly but a warning notification keeps coming up "Park Brake Requires Calibration Apply Foot and Park Brake" any recommendation on how to fix ?
No need for the (risky/dodgy) 12 volt bare wires on to the parking brake motor! Start the engine release the parking brake and then undo the parking brake wiring clip down at the caliper motor, then turn off the engine. Wind back the caliper with the standard brake caliper tool using a right handed thread.
When I took mine apart and saw that it was designed for a caliper tool to wind it back, my first thought was whether or not winding it back would damage the servo motor. I assume it winds the servo motor back as well? On a side note, USE lubrication or something to get the electrical connector back on. I thought the connectors were on but they were on just enough to engage the servo motor but created an error message on the instrument cluster.
@@RBTheMechanic Hi RB thanks, I can't get anyone to service my LR where I am....I'm not an electrical guy, but how many amp is your 12V? Dumb question, but do I run the risk of burning anything out if I just grab a general 12v battery? ANY additional info is greatly appreciated, thanks! Local mechanic's NEW scanner won't work and he's a great tech but he won't take accountability for the way you did it.....
Yeah thanks !! Easy by pass had enough with snap on trying to just over charge with scan tool and when u hook it up to car ohhh it wount be compatible and customer came from 40 miles away on the fone I said yes comeeee I sure can do it
@@RBTheMechanic lol noice bro, sounds like you know what you are doing!👍 I love mechanical stuff! If I go to college I would go to be a certified mechanic! Fun stuff! Love it! Keep up the great work brother! PEACE ✌
@@RBTheMechanic speaking of mechanic stuff, my profile picture is a homemade go kart that I made a while back! It's on my UA-cam channel! It's pretty cool, mostly just does wheelies lol! Fun stuff!
Well it works professional was to hook up my $8,000 scan tool and put it in to service mode but the professional scan tool wasn’t comparable so I put my mind to it and every one can do it professionally
I have different method and still works without using Ellen key to take off 1. Key On Engine Off 2. Press Gas by right feet and press down EPB button then turn key ON OFF ON in 5 seconds. the Odomedor will show " EPB in maintain mode"==> so you can press straight in like regular ;) release do the same but Press Up EPB I'm working at Ford dealer and I'm using this method alot to do EPB rear brake job reallt fast without using Scan Tool or Using Aleen vs Tort to take off at the back. ;) link video ua-cam.com/video/aierIiFjiVY/v-deo.html

Yup I do all of my video straight to point!! Glad video was help to u
Excellent tutorial that saved me a lot of time and money! The use of a 12 volt battery to manipulate the electric brake worked like a charm. Thank you!
Excellent! But next time use 7v or do without using power remove the acuator and turn the caliper manually from back
Where do you get the 7v power for this?@@RBTheMechanic
@@tonystubbs9189 use small battery
What if your parking actuator has 3 wires???

Sorry idk what u said
Very informative thanks for sharing
If you are not comfortable with the wires etc, I just put the car in neutral (while running) on the jackstands and unplugged the motor. Then put it back in Park.
U can remove the acuator and turn the caliper from the bolt that gets exposed in the rear of caliper and compress with it
Can you make a video and show us how......put the car in neutral (while running on jackstands and unplug the motor.Then put it in park.
@@sistercalhoun4444 why u need it to be in netural? I didn’t put it in netural
Worked like a champ. Put in neutral and removed clip, and as I was pulling connector off caliper dang near came off with it. Thanks so much!!!
Thanks, you explained this perfectly.
You're welcome!
Absolutely fantastic video, Im off back round to the garrage right now fingers crossed🤞
Yup!!! Thank you
@@RBTheMechanic Unfortunately I have the 3 wire plug so not able to wind the calipers back😥
@@marcos3ltrv6 remove the acuator and turn it with tool torque work on it and compress slowely
@@RBTheMechanic thanks again, I was going to try that tomorrow, rain stopped me today👍
Good tutorial, great explanation!!!
Thank you! This video will help many many people

U might need scan tool to reset
@@RBTheMechanic already tried no luck. Could it be the position of the position in comparison to the other side ?
@@petzbuzz2825 nothing to do with other side what did u try how did u attempt to do this
What about the Front brakes do you do the same for the Front brake my Auntie has a 2017 Range Rover Evoque.
Front is easier u just compress the caliper no electrics there

Don't be a puss start the car put it in natural change rear brakes no scan tool no jump wires "THIS WORKS" nice vid,
backyard pro tip!
NOPE!!! Don’t try this
Is any settings with air suspension with buttons before lift up it ??
If u got air suspension u have tot run it off before u lift it
Bravo !!!
Thabks
Hey can i ask.. can you just put the car in neutral ? Thanks great vid by the way
Noo it still need to be done this way
Gotta be the sketchiest way to pull actuators 😂😂😂😂
Yup
Hey can a car battery be used to power the electric motor? Like 12v or 9v?
Yeah
The one I use in this video is 12v

Sweet 👌
I don't think its right to use two pieces of wire to reverse the electric motor on that way, not professional.

Nice will try that next time I did that with Ford Focus years back.
It did not work on my 2019 Evoque. The break engages the minute I turn off the ignition.
Why not leave the connector ON the caliper and simply turn the key?
U will damage it and removing the connector allows u to move the caliper around without pulling the wiring
Yes, right!! May sens.
