The internal rod needs to be retracted otherwise you’re pushing the piston against the rod and it will not move. It is this rod that maintains the parking brake mechanically. You could run small wires right to your car battery or a set of jumper cables reaching back to the wheel

Well fone bro 🤝
All I keep thinking while watching this is I wish you were my neighbour.
Great job!!! and very well explained. Congrats. Question i have... would this also work for a Q7 2016 with EPB? Thanks
No problem after replace rear brake pads? Like brake light on dashboard or something?
I have my first car with electric parking brake and need to replace discs all around . I sort of don't understand ,how it works and why you have to release that e parking brake that way . Wouldn't be easier to just keep the vehicle unbraked ? And keep it stable by wedges all around?
I like it
Well done Dave. You are a boss mechanic. Question: How many amps on the 12 volt battery that I going out to buy? Much Thanks, Mark

I have accomplished this with a 9v battery (like you put in smoke detectors) on a 2013 Q5. Does not take much amperage at all.
Hey Dave, How much torque do I need to put these carrier bolts back on? Thanks
Can you link the rotors and pads part numbers
Were you watching v8 Supercars from Australia when doing this job sounded like Neil cropmton ?
Great job! i'm going to try this on the weekend. I noticed you didn't paint the hub surface. You just sanded it down and sprayed lubricant. Can I just spray the whole thing black after sanding?
@daveraymond2265

I would not paint the hub. The hub needs to be perfectly clean so the rotor fits flush and flat and there is no wobble to it. I sprayed the surface with FLUID FILM so it would be easy to remove next time.
Great video. I thought you had to turn and compress the piston at the same time. Is it different with newer models?
@daveraymond2265

With mechanical parking brakes you have to turn and compress simultaneously which is always a struggle. With electronic parking brakes, after running the motor the piston compresses very easily just like your front pistons.
what year is the q5 mine has electronic parking brake also which rotors did you use
the 12 v wire and battery where you buy that at
Dave, what's the name/brand/whatever of that manual compression tool you used to push with at 11 minutes? That's an amazing tool

Anyone knos the diameter for the rotors for 2013 audi q5??
Very cool trick for the e-brake release! Also, I found it interesting to see that you used an air gun to put the carrier bolts back on instead of torquing them to 74 ft lbs + 90 deg as per Audi spec. Just wondering what your reasoning is there?

Do you have to energize the motor to push the rod back out after finishing with the pad replacement or does the vehicle do that automatically? I know with the VCDS software there is an open and close function.

Nope, The caliper should lift right off unless you have a large lip on the edge of the rotor which in that case it should be replaced and you can just pry the caliper up with a screwdriver to get it over that lip
Question ; After the rear brake job was there a caliper sequence to reactivate the cylinder ? I was just wondering
@daveraymond2265

No, you’re ready to go. Just pump the brakes a few times.
Are you able to push in the cylinder without a power source? I dont have access to any cables or 12v batteries, and wouldnt really know what to buy. Is there a way to park the car and not engage the parking break, disconnect the wire at the caliper, and just push it in manually? Or do you NEED to back it out with a power source first? Thanks for your help and thanks for the video... i am working on a 2016 Q5 in California. :)

The internal rod needs to be retracted otherwise you’re pushing the piston against the rod and it will not move. It is this rod that maintains the parking brake mechanically. You could run small wires right to your car battery or a set of jumper cables reaching back to the wheel

You will want to cycle the EPB a couple of times for the ECM to find it’s new position .. that’s what VCDS will be doing through the software. But yes work the pedal until the brakes feel hard then cycle the EPB couple of times.
When your done with brakes, and you plugged in the wire harness for the electric brakes, how do you re engage? Run the switch on the console when your done or did you do something else?
