I used 12v supply from a battery or power brick to wind back. Look inside the socket, 2 pins labeled, connect positive to pin 1 and negative to pin 2. Will hear moter sound and see piston is not moving out. When Motor sound changes, disconnect. Compress the piston in.
Brilliant video, just got me out of trouble as I didn't think the disc would pass by the carrier. Wiggled out with ease thanks to the video. Also great tip on removing the Vag motor and I had the G clamp similar to yours. Whole job went without any issues. Many thanks for posting.
Great video works well only probs I had were lining up the splines to motor when reassembled had to adjust a touch and figuring out how to get EPB off and to stay off when you shut down ignition was a nightmare just played about with press and hold can’t even remember how I got it to stay off but will post when figure out what I did 😂
I foolishly pressed end lining instead of start and the rod came all the way out. I managed to get it back in, not sure if I've damaged it but I'm have multiple errors on dash with abs and I can't get my car free from handbrake so I'm stuck. Any ideas how to reset this as I was using vagcom? The reason I used this video was to whind the piston back further after removing the motor. Any help is appreciated.
Just finished this things i found out that clip from the ebrake motor is a two hand contract, one on the clup annnnd one prying out like he said both clips are good i did use a seven m rachet annnnd socket, it was a pain in the ass but it worked , i was worried that the ebrake wouldn’t reset itself after turning that clockwise but it did I just did that half turn or that full turn that he mentioned and it was all good
