    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!!

    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 .

    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.

    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
