Like always, thank you for watching!
According to Ross-Tech, you should never try to enter service mode without connecting a battery charger. With the older EPB firmwares, you can create yourself big headaches if the voltage drops below 12V. wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Working_on_the_Electro-Mechanical_Parking_Brake_(EPB)

Thank you for the tip...
I will fix your post so everyone can see it...
That said, it might be that is when using Ross tech cable... MaxiSys never warning of that problem... neither DS708... and I have done this procedure a lot of times...
Thanks. Great tip. I will hook up the CTEK tomorrow before I do this.
You are not kidding with the torx that holds the rotor on. Don’t over tighten. Both sides on mine were stripped I had to drill it out and retap with an 8mm then go to the hardware store for SS bolts. Thanks again for this video!
👍
Thanks!
For watching and for your comment!
Nice. But I think they put your Steering column on the wrong side of the car!😮😂.
🤣
Yes... they do that around here....
👍👍👍
You said what you did, but you did not show how you did it.
6:13 How do you take the caliper off?
Hi
Two bolts holding it to the sliding pins...
Most of the calipers come out this way...
Thank you for watching!
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs Thanks. What is confusing is that some videos show a 9mm Allen bolt behind the caliper. It must be from a different version of the car.
Yes... different manufacturers different styles... but same principle!...👍
I did find a way to retract the parking brake without a scan tool. Just unbolt the motor and rewind it to the service position. After reassembly just cycle the parking brake a few times. Easy Peasy.
👍👍👍
Nice on. Thanks for sharing. Totally agree on the greasing. Additionally I always relube sliding pins with some silicone paste.

I also do it when they need... in this case they were good....

How do you get the caliper bracket and rotor bolt off( tool sizes)?
Can't really remember the size now... sorry...
Thank you for watching!
bracket has two external 21 mm hex bolts and the little screw on the brake rotor disc is an internal torx size t30 if I recall correctly :)
Its good idea , to put the anti seize behind the brake hardware , not above . Its stainless steal , so its not going to rust , but if rust gets underneath , this will block the pads from moving .
P.S. we all saw the brake caliper hanging on the brake line
Crank
I usually tie wrap the caliper to the spring... in this case the brake hose is straight, not bending or kinky... so is not really stressing the hose... nevertheless you have a point... it shouldn't be like that...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
About battery charger, is it not possible to let the engine running while you open up the brakes?
I guess you can...
Thank you for watching!
The disc comes out without removing the caliper bracket
Possibly...
👍
Compare to other, you deserve more subscribers. Pls give more advice or tips on every video.👍👍
Hi
I do my best...
Thanks!

NO NEED TO REMOVE CALIPER BRACKET. TAKE OF T30 BOLT AND SLIDE ROTOR OUT FROM BRACKET. DON'T MESS WITH THE 18MM BOLTS HOLDING CALIPER BRACKET ON!!
Some you can do that, some others, the only way to remove the disc is by removing the bracket...
👍👍👍
is a special wrench required to remove the lower bolt that holds the disc in place? I'm finding it difficult to get access to.

Hi
No special tools...
Thank you for watching!
Thanks, I figured out that you only need to remove the retraining screw to remove the rotor. No need to remove the caliper carrier bolts.
I'm from visalia California thank you so much
Hello to California!

Thank you for watching!
how in the holy fuck did you get that caliper bracket off?? The lower bolt is impossible to get wrench socket anything on. would of been nice to see you do it without editing
Impossible?
No, is not Impossible...
Unless you don't have the right tools...
👍👍👍
Great video but please do not undermine the importance of showing the removal of caliper and fitting everything back on. Cars are not the same so it helps to see everything, thanks.

Hi, I have Audi A5 2010 manual s line, on the dashboard my parking brakes is flashing. I took it to 3 garages and they still haven’t fixed it. I was wondering if you are in the UK and you can fix this for me please? Thanks
I would help you, but as might do or not know, i do this jobs as a part time... and at the moment, I do not really have the room, the weather has been... well, the typical british one...
Did any of the garages gave you the diagnostic report, with the trouble codes?
lmsvvavr none of the 3 garages give me nothing. One of them told me to change the parking brake unit and I did but it’s still same problem.
Ok... Do you have how to get the car scanned?
Mabe someone near you can do it....
What is the tool you used to turn off the electric parking brake? And where can i find it?
Hi
I have used my MS908P... but you might want to look for something cheaper...
Look on ebay, there is cheap tool dedicated just for that!
Hope that helps.
Thank you for watching!
What would you recommend that is cheaper?
@@MH-nh9yw
Just search something like EPB tool...
You find them as cheap as £40 on eBay...

Thank you for watching and for your comment!
@@LMAutoRepairs One more question, can it be done without using a battery charger? my battery it is almost new and i do not own a battery charger..
@@Christian-go7ze
Yes... should be fine...
peace be upon you brother
Are there books that speak in this area?
mohamed mohamed
Thank you...
Sorry for my ignorance ... but I don't really get your question...
@@LMAutoRepairs I know that this is a really old thread, but I think he meant to ask if there is any book on the subject of rear break jobs, probably the kind with electronic breaks such as the ones in modern Audi A6 :p This is just a wild guess though XD
How much should it cost to do this job??
n h
Not too much... it is only discs and pads change after all...
Thank you for watching!
