Rear brake pads. Squealing.

My rear pads squeal badly at very low speeds. I suspect they need replacing with better branded examples. I’m fine doing this with one caveat- what to do about the electronic parking brake.

Leave it off seems obvious but I’ve read about them ‘self activating, with dire consequences

Can’t find a definitive guide so advice welcomed.

Thanks

Gary
 
Definitely Definitely DO NOT have the EFB on at ANY TIME during the pad replacement process…it will be a bad hair day..

You’ll need a pp3 battery and some jump wires or a coding tool to put the efb into service mode

EFB? =Parking brake?
 
Release the parking brake as normal and unplug at the motor. Then just remove the motor.
Wind the the piston in with Allen key to get the pads wide enough apart to pass disc wear lip.
 
one side done - turns out my cheapo code reader thing will rewind the parking brake!

other side tomorrow when I've turned the car round in the garage

I used Foxwell reader to wind them out, but not far enough to get over wear lip so still had to manually wind them out.

But EMF is the German abbreviation of
ElektroMechanische Feststellbremse. :D

So the correct English representation should be EMP! But that's a tongue twister, isn't it? :rofl:
