    A few useful thoughts from changing the pads last weekend.

    To release the park brake on the rears:

    1. Chock
    2. Engine on and neutral, release brake manually using the button on the centre console
    3. Release electrical connector on park brake - with the wheel off it’s the only connector on show.
    4. Engine off.

    The pistons on my MY17 retract easily by just pushing with fingers, but only once the cap of the brake fluid reservoir has been loosened. It’s under the cover near the windscreen on the right side of the engine bay.

    The callipers come off with a 13mm socket and matching open spanner.

    Once off, the park brake can be removed with an Allen key (rears only) to give access to the winding screw. Counter intuitively wind clockwise to retract.

    The LR factory pads are sticky backed in the front, so needed a little encouragement with a flat blade screwdriver to detach.

    Pad wear sensors are on back right and front left only.

    On rears, re connect the handbrake electrics after re-attaching the calliper and before the wheel.

    Total job time about 15 mins per wheel without rushing.


    Is the EPB not the same as the D4/3 with shoes internal to the brake disk or does it work off the calipers and pads?


    Don’t quote me on this because it was some months ago now. It looked like an electric motor driving the main pads onto the calliper, not a secondary set.
