I need advice on changing my rear pads if any can help?
Are these just the same to replace as any other car or are they slightly different due to the electric park brake. It all looks just normal to me but the piston on the calliper needs quite a bit of encouragement pushing in. Just thought I would ask someone before pushing it in as I don’t want to damage anything. I haven’t done brake’s before on cars with electric park brake. It’s a 2011 4.4tdvd vogue.

It’s a simple single piston on sliding pins but the piston and pins can seize and it’s not uncommon to have to replace them when you do the pads and disks. The EPB is a separate system inside the of the disk ‘bell’
Most of the braking work is done on the fronts on the L322 esp the 4.4 with it’s bigger front brake setup so the rears don’t get a lot of use and hence the seizing issues. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Ok that’s great thanks. I thought the handbrake might have been there.

I’ve just replaced my rear calipers with new TRW ones (OEM) from Advanced Factors (site sponsor discount) as old ones (original probably) were shot. Cheap enough not to warrant refurb. 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"
