Very well explained video. Getting ready to change out rear pads on my wife's '19 rouge w/ EPB. I wasn't sure about not having a scan tool. This helps me out tremendously! Thanks
Yes Steve, I was thinking, "now those discs don't look like the non ventilated ones that came off...brake upgrade, oooh". Great tip for the diy epb crowd, good one.
I tend to put some ceramic grease on the sliders and on the shims , piston face as well , just a little good video/ little trick to wind the epb back 👍🏼
Totally agree about the brake flexi caliper hanging thing, never seen a problem. If the flexible brake pipes were that fragile, they should not be on a vehicle!. Thanks for another great tip Steve!.
not worry about brake hose with aluminum cast calipers , here in Canada in cold weather they carry many pounds of mud and ice on them all winter long , .
I did this on my mondeo / fusion 2015. Took the park brake motor off and wound it then pushed the calliper in. Stupid me, while I had the first caliper off I pressed the park brake switch to on (don't ask why) and it extended the piston all the way. After that I noticed some brake fluid on the rubber boot of the piston. Not sure if I stuffed it. Anyway, after winding it back manually and pushing the piston in, I out it all back together. Problem is now I've got a park brake fault message, and when I press the park brake I can here the motor run for about 30 seconds as if it isn't attached to anything. Wish I'd never touched that button. Now my pedal feels really soft and I'm worried about moving the car. Obviously it needa bleeding but can't do it in my own. Will have to take it to the mechanic.
Right, this really is the last time I'm going to say this. The caliper weighs fuck all, it aint going to hurt the pipe. Copper slip on brakes? You're one of them are you? I bet you put that shit on battery terminals too eh? Find me someone that uses a torque wrench on calipers. I've been doing this nearly 40 years, I know way more than you.

The ECU in the car will stop the actuator when it meets resistance each way, the battery method won't, even if you are careful with a battery, you risk damaging the internals of the actuator. If you don't have a scan tool, phone app etc. then it's best to remove the actuator.
Thanks for the video, I saw another guy show how you can get a 12v battery with two wires that you touch to those two terminals where you took the plug out. And it seemed to work fine, just make sure the polarity is the way that winds the piston the right way. Would you suggest this way too as it saves taking the motor off? PS like the accent, it reminds of home, as I'm currently up north! lol!
@@pistonbrokeexactly, too many people on CZcams peddling the idea of putting 12v directly onto the terminals, they are lucky they don’t mash up the motor internals doing that, as that’s a real risk that way.
Let them carry on if they think they know best. Makes me laugh when they watch my videos because they don't know how to do it and then tell me I'm doing it wrong.
This is brilliant. Have you ever had a problem afterwards with the EPB causing any faults? I have to do a 2023 Maserati soon and can’t communicate with it using a scan tool. Thanks!
Great video, no p1ssing about. Gotta call you out tho, how the f are your hands so clean? Everybody goin on about hanging the caliper. The pressure this pipe handles under braking way out weighs hanging for a few minutes. Very helpful, thanks 🍻.
The caliper weighs next to nothing, if it was a big twin pot caliper then I'd support it. Dunno why my hands are clean, maybe the brakes just weren't that dirty.
You should never leave your calliper hanging by the brake line and the calliper bracket should be torqued to specs and lock tight used on the bolts as well to retract the piston with a C clamp and a piece of metal on the back of the motor to prevent it from cracking the casing.
How does a piece of metal on the back of the motor prevent t from cracking, exactly??? Never use a clamp with the motor attached, In fact, it’s best not to use a clamp on this type of brake caliper with the motor removed either, unless you are very careful not to damage the bush and the drive at the back, but then you can’t mount the clamp centrally, so it’s just best not to do it on these types of caliper.
Does connecting a power source to the motor terminals not work on this caliper? Also no one covers releasing the brake before commencing work, my car automatically engages it when ignition is off.
Quicker to wind it back than piss about with wires and a battery. You need to put it in service mode to stop the brake coming on. The procedure varies from one make to another.
All doors closed, Engine running, seatbelt fastened behind your back so you can get out, foot on brake, release epb and hold switch down, turn engine off while holding switch down.
Whatever! I've already been through this god knows how many times. The caliper weighs next to nothing so it wont hurt the pipe. If it was heavy then I would support it. This is the last time I'm repeating myself.
another guy on here says you cant unplug the electrical connector or it needs sorting with diagnostic tool? is that right he was on a \hyundai i40. i dont want to unplug it and cause a problem.
Is this the same on a 308 2019 with electric handbrake. I’m confused did you have the handbrake enabled to begin with or disabled as my 308 will auto enable it upon turning the engine off so I’m not to sure what I need to do
You would need to put the brake into a service mode so that it stays off while you are working on the car. There will be a video floating about somewhere that will tell you how to do this.
Great Video Sir , just my thought if disconnecting the battery terminals could help for the computer not to recognize the rear brake service and would it be convenience to do same time both Rr. LH and RH My point is not to have a check light pop up on the dash on normal driving for most viewers that doesn’t have a special scan tools .
I love it when people watch my videos because they don't know how to do something and then proceed to tell me that I'm doing it wrong. You couldn't make this stuff up.
Gotta call you out, It's a little bit hacky. Don't let your caliper hang like that Number one, And number two, don't open up that motor if you don't have to. Just get a power probe and hook it up to the battery and reverse that motor.

I didn't even look. I'd already done one side and the disc was right. Wasn't expecting to have one right disc and one wrong one.
I used your method today, and it worked beautifully. Thanks for this video.

Brilliant, just what I needed. Thank you
You don't have to remove the brake caliper carrier bracket, the disc can be slid into place once free of the hub and vice versa.
In this case it wasn't necessary, but on my older VW it is.
very good video, excellent work.
Thanks for sharing knowledge.

If it's a big cast iron 4 pot caliper then i'll tie it up, they are a bit heavy. But a little caliper like this one, it weighs bugger all.
Sorry Steve, you got there before me

How not to do calipers and pads,you never leave calipers hanging on brake pipes,where is the copper slip,no torque wrench.

Great job!
Just reverse the polarity to the motor with a small 12 volt battery, which will depress the drive. No need to put apart the motor.
Quicker to wind it back than piss about with wires and a battery.

No, never had any problems. I always do it this way.
Does the codes go away after you change the pads ?
@@MastaKilla305 there wont be any codes as long as you make sure everything is plugged back in before turning the ign on

If it has the same type of caliper as this then yes it can. I've never had one not work after doing this so I couldn't tell you.

@@pistonbroke Thank you. I have the electric version, the zs ev, but I'm hoping the procedure is the same. The caliper looks identical.

If it has the same type of caliper as this then yes.
Thanks, but I won't let brake caliper hanging unsupported on its own weight. too dangerous for brake hose !

Good luck brother! I never wanted to challenge your skills. Wonderful video. Thanks
another guy on here says you cant unplug the electrical connector or it needs sorting with diagnostic tool? is that right he was on a \hyundai i40. i dont want to unplug it and cause a problem.
As long as the ignition isn't on or the switch pulled while it is disconnected then it will be fine.

@@pistonbroke so as long as the parking brake is not on, I just need to remove the motor and then wind the piston back?
Yes, you push the piston back and wind the drive on the back of the caliper.

Just tell the people what kind of car is that gracias de Guatemala..
Doesn't matter what car it is as most will have the same type of caliper.
thank you
Y u not use Greece on anything 😮
Nope, unless it has grease from the factory, then I will.
What size T socket is that ?
Can't remember, T40 or T45.
@@pistonbroke T45
It doesn’t damage the motor?
No, the motor is removed so it’s fine
What if piston is extended to far Can this still be done?
Should be able to as long as it starts on the threads without crossthreading.
@@pistonbroke not budging will go further out but not in
@@joshdaniel-qs8oh wind the caliper till the screw comes to its stop then squeeze the piston back with grips or a G clamp. It should go back.
@@pistonbroke anyway i could call you I been stuck here 4 hours trying 😭
If it wont go back, lift the rubber boot and see if there is rust on the piston. If so then you need a new caliper.

Gotta call you out? Dry your eyes Princess, you don’t have to call anyone out - just accept YOU do things differently.
Agree and he didn't point out the importance of lining up the indentations on the piston to line up with lugs on the rear of the pad.
I didn't twist the piston so there's no need to realign it. Do I really need to spell everything out? Most of it is common sense.
Ppe lol 😂
