If you want to retract e-brake, you have 3 options : Option 1: remove the 2 motor screws and reset the motor as shown in this video. Option 2: you can unplug the motor cable and apply battery power to turn the motor in reverse mode . This is a bit tricky but do able . Option 3: if you have high end engine diagnostics scanner , you can use the diagnostics scanner and toggle e-brake power to reverse motor using factory ODB port. Good luck 😉
Just leave it. The electric motor will take care of that. Remember to follow my step by step video. Thanks for the comment here and smash the like or subscribe 😎
I'm getting old and blind but nowhere in this video did I see the e-(parking)brake shoes in place (or replaced), though the motor drive was retracted. Often enough those shoes create jamming problems in removing the rotor/drum and I would have replaced those shoes as well. Otherwise the video was clear and informative.
Great Video, thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks for the comment here ! Comment like this certainly encourage me to post DIY videos.
So if I just want to retract the e brake do I have to remove the two t30 screws first or can I skip that ?

Which way do you turn the motor pinion to allow the piston to retract? Clockwise or anticlockwise?
I am sure I wrote in the video. Just have a look at the video slowly . I think it is clockwise . Good luck !
After u install the brake pads do you go back counter clockwise or leave them clockwise
Don’t need to touch E motor. It will reset next time to apply E brake.
Do you rotate the e brake back before you re install or just leave it open?

E- parking brake is using the same disk brake pads . The motor is the actuator that apply and release parking brake. Cheers
