Transmission Park Release and Parking Brake Activation/Deactivation
The attached file shows how to Release the Transmission Park which would be required for towing/recovery on 4 wheels.
It also shows how to Release the Electronic Parking Brake which is required for towing/recovery and for replacing rear brake pads.
Maybe this should be a sticky.

Nevermind, using a Google search on ebay found it. Ordered it as it will be very handy for future reference.

Hello, regarding the EPB Service Mode Activation/Deactivation... do you turn off the ignition after step 6 and continue to work on the vehicle rear brakes? Also I don't see any notification on the dash board that says it is in "service or Maintenance mode", but I do hear a motor moving (I suppose thats the EPB motor). Must it sya somewhere on the dash board that the vehicle is in Service/maintenance mode?

This thread is not EPB Service Mode Activation/Deactivation
I believe I posted those instructions elsewhere.
I was unsuccessful getting those instructions to deactivate my EPB but other people were successful.
I would strongly caution you to not remove rear calipers unless you are absolutely positive the EPB is deactivated.
If I were to remove my rear calipers I would disconnect my battery and unbolt the EPB from the back of the caliper instead of following the deactivation instructions.
