The ABSOLUTE BEST way to retract electric brake calipers. Today i"m working on a 2015 VW R with an ELECTRONIC E-BRAKE, i'm going to show you how to push the piston back in to replace your rear brake pads, this is the fastest and easiest way to do it.

Hektor, thanks for the great video. I was wondering is it safe to leave the car during the night with pulled electronic handbrake while outside temperature is below zero?

Hey bro, is this the same procedure for 2019 Alfa romeo giulia?
Hektor, you're a lifesaver. I was stuck with the brakes all apart on my 2015 Hyundai Sonata Limited, and heard lots of expensive advice on how to do this with the scanners and special tools. I did what you said, and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much!!
Glad this video popped up while I was searching for the cheapest tool to retract the brakes!
Cheers Hektor!, done this on my daughters Audi tt mk3 roadster, worked perfectly, saved a fortune!
Hektor , iv been watching a few guys doing the rear calipers with electronic hand breaks , REALLY at the end of the day there was nothing wrong with the old handbreak cable system , SO you are the fourth guy iv watched doing this job , lost an hour , but gained a lot of knowledge so I'll be more confident doing my rear brakes on my engine driven Tin Can . Each guy approached this job from a different perspective but all in all got the job done and NO need for an expensive garage bill , Stay Safe Hektor , Stan up in Edinburgh Scotland UK .
@HomieHektor Great video. After hours of trying to manually turn the pistons and giving up. Found your video and finished the job with no issues. Keep up the great work! We need more mechanics that work on the euro stuff!
Wow Homie, you breathed new life into me with this great video. Just before watching yours, I watched one that required manipulating the car computer with some complicated gizzmo before changing the rear pads. Afterward, I said, this ain't for me! Then and there I realized I was going to have to let the dealer put me in the poor house on this one. Then out of the dark sky came a bright light ... YOU!! ...🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thank You Homie.

Saved me a trip to the dealer! I used a 12v battery charger from Canadian Tire and it worked perfectly! Rear brakes on a 2019 Jetta.
Hektor! Thank you. You are one of the best Mechanic/Technician to learn from.
Thanks for posting this video. I've got two cars with electronic parking brake that I have to work on and this makes it easy.
Man.this is really awesome help.i do all my own mechanical work and also for paying family and friends.recently ive worrying about how to do this because a few family members have bought vw golfs and tiguans with e parking.cant believe how easy this is.
I was able to do it with just a 9V battery! watched your video and had nothing other than a 9Vand it worked. was slower than a 12v but it still worked!

I also was able to get the job done with a 9v battery and some wires. Thanks for saving me a lot of money!
Thank you Hector for a fine video. I just put a 7 amp inline fuse on the positive wire just to be safe. You saved me a lot of money.

Brilliant tip for us guys with no scanner iv been doing brake for family for over forty years very handy tip 👍👍
Awesome Hektor. One of the best and easiest explanations to follow.
This worked! My coworker thought he was going to lose his job because the only known remedy was to pay $900 for a new caliper. This is a guy with five kids and a sick wife struggling to live month to month. I found your video, and we took a chance. I don’t know how to thank you other than to say Thank you!

Best EPB video on KZread - finally an explanation and demo you can understand, thanks a lot I will try it soon on my Hyundai Ioniq EV, these EV's need a lot of brake service because they use the brakes so little, sounds really stupid but it's true...
My mate changed the front pads on his Golf and said he needs to take it to a garage to have the rears done. But after watching your amazing video, I can show him how to do it himself. Really glad there are 'Cool Dudes' like you, uploading brill 'How to' vids. Hektor will/can this same method apply to other makes of vehicles, eg. Jaguar,Audi, Mercedes, etc,etc, also???.

I just did my Accord rear brakes with electronic parking brake. I just screwed the piston in with a brake tool until it stops, then press the piston the rest of the way with a c-clamp.

Pretty cool tip in case you don't have the caliper compressor kit with plates that fit into the piston grooves and rotate/compress at the same time.

You should have also set the caliper with the notches correctly so it engages the dimple on the back of the pad. Anyone that does this, do it at your own risk as without using a diag tool that can put the brake in service mode you may not be able to get it to work right after for a variety of issues that take too long to explain just be warned of how many people have done this and ended up having to replace the calipers and recode with VCDS
Nice information bro Thank you
DAAG, that is easy. Damn Dealers !!! All these special tools they say you need so they can charge you the BIG $$$$'s. Thanks Hector, I'm sure you saved some Peeps their butts.
