C4 grand piccasso rear brake pads with auto handbrake.

[Pesty]

Does this make changing the rear pads a dealer only job or. Or I just change them as normal?

If so and thy are hey wind in type does anybody know if they are both clockwise to wind in at the back.

Cheers

Thanks

What about the electric automatic handbrake I'm assuming it can be disengaged when the engine is off although I have not tried it yet. Googling about some people say you need a diagnostic tool to reset it?

Thanks will check it out


Bloody hate these automatic handbrakes at the best of times

Thanks kevin good time to revive the thread. thanks ill try that

I took a quick look at it today funnily enough.mrs has been working so not had opportunity before

they is an extra sort of attachment on the caliper that ive never seen before.


At the top there is a 13mm bolt as normal goes through the carrier at the bottom where there is normally another 13mm bolt there is some kind of block held together with torx type screws. wierd.

Im guessing I can loosen the top bolt and rotate the top part of th caliper down out of the way. I normally take out both bolts out. the bottom bolt head is completly covered by the contraption which appears to be there for no good reason at all.

wonder if its something to do with the air suspension.
