I need to change Rear Disc & pads on my Kodiaq. Found good videos on steps (as it has EPB)
Need
2 x Torx 30 csk fixing screws
2 pairs calliper fixing screws
Anybody know if I can buy these as a kit .... workshop video say to change screws & springs, and show kit with all parts, but so far suppliers (Europarts etc) seem to just have pads & discs nothing else.
You will need to wind back the pistons into the carrier. It's not like changing front pads where its just a case of pushing the pistons back in. Consult YouTube for details. A special tool might be needed and it can be quite an effort even then. Some cars use right-handed threads on both sides, others are handed and you need to know which one you have.
Undoing the ?torx bolts that hold the carrier onto to backplate might also need a long bar if you don't have a impact driver.
After fitting, do not touch the handbrake until you have pumped the pistons back into contact with the disks.
the pistons back into contact with the disks.
Looked at this video ... can use motor to wind out discs ...
