Thanks very much

 

If you can't get your D5 into EPB service mode (where the dashboard states it is in service mode), you will not be able to push the rear brake pistons back into the calipers unless you remove the EPB motor from the back of each caliper. Then, you must turn the torx screw socket that is visible after you remove the EPB motor. This torx screw causes a threaded shaft to push on the back of the piston and turning it clockwise will retract it from behind the piston. The piston will not follow it back into the caliper but you can then press the piston back in. If you don't back off this threaded shaft it will be impossible to press the piston back in and if you apply too much force you will damage the first few threads and destroy the entire caliper.
It should only take gentle pressure to push the piston back in while turning the torx screw clockwise.

 

@BalanBro - How is that kit holding up please? I'm about to do the rears on my 2017 and I wanted to see if you are still happy with them?

 

So far so good. I'm happy with how they've worked out. Brake dust is reduced considerably, and there really was no noticeable difference in braking performance, good or bad. I also find that the brake dust that does build up seems much easier to clean, whereas the dust from the original pads really seems to have embedded onto the wheel surface in areas. Even my acid based wheel cleaners with heavy agitation couldn't remove all the contamination.

 

With just under 25000 miles my rear pads were down to 2mm and the fronts were not far behind. I picked up the PowerStop Z17 stock kit, and had my local shop install it. They has no issues and it seemed very straight forward. They also flushed my brake fluid. Stopping seems equal to oem though I have no towed the boat with it yet as I want to make sure the pads and rotors are properly broken in.

The main reason I went with the Z17 was for the dusting, hopefully it is less.

I have had great luck with Chemical Guys wheel cleaner for my super contaminated wheels and it managed to clean them off very well.

 

Hi, Did you need 2 pairs of the P/N SYG00013 for the 2017 Disco V?

 

Yes, one pair for each side.

 

I DID IT!!!! TODAY! Saved $846.92 !!!Thanks Ponderosajack, Balanbro and to everyone else on this forum. Ponderosajack would you happen to have the PDF file for the FRONT brakes? I just want to know if a bolt has to be replaced anew and the torque values for the bolts. Again thanks.

 

I will post a new thread with Front Brakes for you.

Very useful thread. Saved $846.92? for the rear brakes only? How come so much?
