Good find. Will come in handy for a lot of people on here I would say.

Yes my thoughts too after just replacing the rear pads, you can do it if you want if you have the correct diagnostics but this way is a lot quicker - - Dave

Good idea as it will probably go missing down the line and members can’t find then.

Does this work on the grand sport, had mine plugged into 3 different machines today and none of them would allow rear caliper rewind.

Hi Dave brilliant posting but had me confused until I read further in your post

The confusing bit was EHB in the Title, is it possible to amend to EPB ?

Oh my well asking any stealer u always get the answer scan tool needed = $$$

Please where does it describe how to deactivate it? U can't is just release it and key out and don't fiddle with the doors or trunk make sure especially while someone has their fingers in the breaks thanks.

only confusong is some say some has left hand thread and some has right hand thread why I dint get it should be the same on all the insignia but of course LEFT Side driving countries could be different else no

Any one?

Right at the top first post tells you.
or others have just done the change as you would a normal handbrake, just chock the front wheels repese handbrake, and everything undose like normal bolts .no opposing threads on the bolts .
