How To Replace Rear Brake Calipers with Electronic Parking Brake Motors

[@Rocket_PWR1]

Thank you so much! I tried my first pair of brakes with electric parking brake and I struggled with compressing the piston at first. Wasted a few hours and once I saw this video I flew through the repair.

[@bbbindustries]

That's great news! We're glad the video helped you out. Thanks for letting us know.

[@richardsmoczynski9675]

Next time take the motor off.find the fastener type it takes .turn it back counter clockwise till it stops while u are turning it back slowly press the caliper in when it stops ur done put cover back on .when u are done doing pads etc .then press and depress ur parking switch a cpl times .make sure ur motor is making it's sound .really that's all to it just be careful with all the hardware and such

Electronic parking brakes appear in many cases to add needless complexity and cost to what was once a simple and easier to repair system.

[@jordanwilliams3647]

That’s by design. Corporate greed and abuse of capitalism

[@jamesws3]

[@ChiNguyen-wf1qt]

Stupid design just to increase vehicle cost. I still keep my 25 year old truck with 270000 miles still running strong

[@andyclemente4205]

Great video. I remember seen this guys in the advance auto parts training videos

[@bbbindustries]

Thanks!

[@randallturner8048]

I prefer a mechanical parking brake. Auto makers keep giving us stuff we don't want.

[@arevalocobra]

World of convenience..

[@cy_young_9104]

I take the motor off and use a torx to turn the bolt inside the piston.

[@walt2727]

What you're doing on the bench with the voltage activating the brake motor in forward and reverse. That can also be done on the vehicle using the same concept by remove the plug from the motor and activating the motor with 12 Volts to retract the plunger then manually push the back.piston. I think this method also works without putting the E brake in service mode. Otherwise good video. Oh, I have a 2019 Nissan Rogue.

Wouuuu! amazing tip and video very informative also very clear and very well explain, thanks a lot you just save me from a big mistake to made replacing the rear brakes pads in my pacifica minivan 2019, regards and be safe amigo.

[@hyperactive99999]

no wonder the cowboys in the garage messed up my brake caliper

[@pollydor07]

Thanks

[@mathewfoley1531]

You can also undo the two Allen keys on the motor and separate it and wind the piston back ,or just put in service mode

[@dontpanic4295]

I did this now.Tell me how to get my parking light maintenance from flasher

[@Jenga89]

Couple of questions if you don’t mind 😊 How does the ecu “know” when to stop applying power to the motor when the pads make contact with the disc, what stops it continuously pushing. Is it a timed function or does it measure current ? After retracting the piston with the motor then installing new pads, will applying the EPB run the motor until it’s back to its usual on/off state ?

[@sugashack74]

Volvo and others recommend a 9V battery on the EPB. Does that push the piston all the way back or do I still need to manually push it back after it has retracted?

[@bbbindustries]

Most applications require that your caliper piston(s) be manually retracted to facilitate a new set of brake pads.

[@yielfnigussie6609]

Good job which car this one

[@reysanatra3416]

What vehicle is this in the video

[@YH7R]

great content what kind of car was that one in video ?

[@dinocesario394]

when replaceing the new caliper do you put the oil in first start the brake motor

[@bbbindustries]

No, you don’t put fluid in the caliper before replacement. Please watch this video for additional assistance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/movcfXuFid6YgdE

[@kheat693]

Do you use a 12v to bring that piston in and out on the bench test

[@bbbindustries]

Why would you want to? The replacement caliper has undergone multiple tests at the factory prior to shipping. We DO NOT recommend applying power to an EPB caliper without putting the vehicle in service mode.

[@lonetraveler5660]

I try to rewind the epb, but it takes forever for one motor to stop. It is able to push piston out. After rewinding 5 minutes, I am able to push piston in to install new pads. The other motor works fine. Do you know what could cause the problem? Thank you. Thank you for your clear explanation of the working principles of epb motor.

[@richardkot8064]

Good video

[@ranckie]

I have seen other brake replacement video's where they didn't put the electric E brake in maintenance mode and have to wonder if they had problems after they finished their brake job. It's too bad that some folks don't do their research BEFORE starting their repair.

[@normanedge3819]

I am confused when do u discont the battery before u service or after

[@sc2352]

Think... and listen to the video! When did he tell you to unplug the electrical connector to the brake motor? (Answer: it's before performing work on the brakes) Alternatively, if you want to blow out the piston then leave the power connected or if you want to potentially have your fingers crushed by a moving piston, then leave the power connected.

[@MOAON_AABE]

You don't have to take the electric brake motor off or out when changing brake pads or calipers for a new rotors do you???

[@keving1774]

How do you unplug the harness to the module

[@bbbindustries]

Depress the harness lock tab and pull it off the motor.

[@harmindersingh9793]

Very good

[@TheOutwiththeold]

this is why I had too buy a new scan tool....

[@harishsubramanyam3393]

My car does not come with e-parking... can I remove the existing module (Calliper) and add this setup?

[@harmindersingh9793]

Thanks

[@gizzync1525]

So. maint mode, then dc the battery before removing caliper?

[@sc2352]

or.. unplug the electrical connector from the parking brake motor. They do both in this video to err on the side of caution.

[@raymedellin1885]

Fatalistic video and instructions. However, what can I do to reset the brake fault if I didn't set service mode first and the caliper is extended?? please help

[@joec2174]

First person that knows how to do this. Service mode then disconnect the caliper plug ?

[@SinghisKing29]

Why can’t Honda Accords have this feature, I’m literally stuck with the Right rear side Electronic parking brake piston stuck and getting a message on the dashboard “Parking Brake Hold problem See your dealer” Any suggestions on if this is a electrical issue or the piston motor going bad?

Can’t you put the vehicle in neutral and take the parking break off?

[@bbbindustries]

You can do whatever you want, but as the manufacturer, we highly recommend you take your vehicle to a certified technician and do not attempt the service yourself.

Disconnect the battery, then go through the settings. Okay.

You really need to show REMOVAL of brake line fitting from the OLD CALIPER and the REINSTALLATION into new caliper…. Lots of stupid bullshit with this IDIOTIC actuator- Most idiotic part EVER PUT ON ANY CAR. I got stuck fixing my girlfriend’s 2019 Rav 4, MY MISTAKE! Stupid feature- give me a HANDBRAKE!! Wonder why they OMITTED IT!!
