Hi chaps,

I was just getting ready to change the rear brake pads on the RRS, and was looking through the workshop manual for the procedure to put the park brake into service mode. Which doesn’t seem to hard.

But, when taking the EPB out of service mode after the pad change, the WSM says to recalibrate the park brake with the diag tool.

I found the Atlantic British video of the pad change on YouTube, but he doesn’t mention the EPB, so I’m wondering if jut the process of using the park brake will calibrate it. Or if it actually needs to be manually calibrated via ODBII.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

When I changed the discs and pads on my 2005 SC I did exactly the same as they showed on Atlantic British YouTube site same as you.

I didn't calibrate the EPB with any diag tool, I just used the manual method of 7(?) clicks of the spring loaded cog inside the hub same as on the video and I've had absolutely no issue with the EPB since I did that 18 months ago. 2016 RRS SVR Estoril Blue

If we all point our RR's in the same direction and accelerate at the same time can we turn back time?

Ah, sorry should have said. This is a MY15.5, so has the secondary pistons to push the usual drive pads into the rotor. There’s no shoe inside the hub afaik. MY15.5 HSE
