Thread: EPB failing sound, but different

Yes I have , as Justin said. Clutch in plastic gears are doing their job. Cheap fix just a bit fiddly. Mine was the RRS (same thing).
I dropped spare wheel. Removed EPB mounting bracket off the chassis and rotated the brake unit 180° so access is much more comfortable.

My red arrows show where the two come together and tighten up on the thread.

ive seen the Brit part video but it’s about replacement not fixing the existing one. I think they are $$$

I had this issue and did what justinc has said, but my mechanic needed to take the outer boot off to get additional leverage. Cant remember exactly what tool he used (I think a flat blade and hammer) but we couldnt get it to budge with just the cover off.

Also, remember to reseal the cover when you put it back together.

Thanks for the image. That’s a big help.

I’m confused a little about the rotation to the end and then the cable latching part, I can’t see the cable in this picture but sure within two minutes on the phone it will make sense if anyone is able and willing to send me their number so I now I’m on the right path?

Wish more mechanics knew the detail. So many just fit complete new modules at the first noise (after never being adjusted prior).
