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?

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.

Is it possible to adjust the electronic parking brake? My rear pads are low and my parking brake doesnt seem to be holding too well, maybe getting new pads will fix it but not sure. This is my first electronic parking brake and i want it to be nice and tight like my old hand brakes where that i could adjust in my older cars.
