  • Brake rewind tool

    I've got a prefacelift insignia with electric handbrake. I've seen somewhere that I don't need software to rewind the piston to change my pads. Is that true that I can buy one from ECP and it will work, cos last time I was ringing garages and they said that because I had an electric handbrake I had to use software. Cheers

    I have the electric handbrake & replaced the rear discs & pads a couple of years ago. No software needed & I used a Draper rewind tool which I had for my previous Vectra. You just have to remember the correct sequence once you've replaced the pads regarding whether you apply the footbrake before or after the handbrake, afraid I can't remember which one to do first, I'm sure there's a how 2 for it on here.
