Currently under lock down here, so decided it would be a good time to change the brake pads on my CX5-2.2D with electronic park brake.
I only found out I had to put it into maintenance mode after I had removed the caliper. It seems that I messed it up and actually activated the parking brake with the caliper out, instead of releasing it. The piston has now been pushed out, to the extent that it seems that it has disconnected from the motor, in fact it may have dislodged the seal as a small amount of brake fluid has leaked out. I have tried releasing the brake but the motor just turns till eventually the EPB failure light comes on and the EPB light flashes.
Would appreciate any ideas on how I fix this?
