SubscriberYep, I had similar trepidation when advised but it works a treat. Run water into hole. Crud flows out. Clearly it’s open to the elements.Originally Posted by Dagilmo
I reckon you could apply a few squirts of CRC after on the adjustor bits if you were keen.

SubscriberYes, the EPB is open to the outside from the rear plate. Squirting CRC or wd40 in through the adjustment hole would be hit and miss, as the hole needs to line up with the adjuster. You would just as soon be spraying a lubricant onto the brake pad of the EPB, defeating the purpose of its function. Hose out is a good idea, but for lubing the pivot and adjuster, best way is to take the caliper and brake rotor off and cleaning it up properly. I've owned my D4 for over 5 years and this is the first adjustment I've done, little effort required in the scheme of things.

SubscriberYes lining up for squirt as per adjust method.
Mines MY08 and I’ve had the screech and alarm twice over time. Each time it released after restart. Keep it adjusted well now. Cleaned it out once when I changed discs and again with hose and not had a problem. Never rebuilt or properly lubed it.
I used to not use it in fear but now use it a lot (never off-road) but never drive off with it on.
It’s never seen mud though.
Best holding power of any park brake I’ve ever seen.
