2015 Freelander 2 (LR2) Replacing Rear Brake Pads
Hi,
I have a 2015 Freelander 2 HSE in China that needs new brake pads
I took it to a shop to have the brake pads replaced. the front sets dropped right in with no issue. the Rear is where things got interesting... this vehicle is also equipped with the electronic parking brake system!
The on the Rear Calipers the mechanic was trying to use a wind back tool but could not find a 3 pin triangular pattern adapter in the Universal wind back kits. Do the USA LR2's have a similar caliper configuration or is this perhaps unique to China?
in searching the internet I found a three pin adjustable adapter for VW, but no reference of this style caliper being on a Land Rover.
Do I need this wind back tool?
In reviewing other posts it sounds like there needs to be a special process to retract the piston/solenoid to accept new pads or perhaps a special device.
Perhaps it is too complicated and why the local dealer wanted over $1000 to do the job.

Need a diagnostic tool to enter parking brake into service mode. Once in service mode, the pistons will push in like the fronts.
When pads are replaced, exit service mode with a diagnostic tool. Road test.
Do not try to remove the caliper without being in service mode. Pistons will shoot out the caliper.
