So I've done an all round disk and pad and shoe change on the LR using Bodsy's Bible. At the moment the fuse is pulled on the EPB and the shoes adjuster is all the way in. A couple of questions for those who have already been this way and maybe have some tips/tricks/gotchas that weren't in the bible....
-- should I reinstate the fuse before doing the adjuster ? I do have a tool to put the EPB into mount/latch/unjam mode - should I do any of those ?
-- after the physical adjustment is done, as these are new shoes I need to do the bedding in procedure which sounds scary as I am worried I might end up tearing up the EPB actuator or the new shoes or both. Book says enable the bedding in mode then perform 10 runs where you use the EPB to bring the LR to a stop. I read it as get the LR up to about 25mph then foot off the gas and use the EPB to bring to stop. Pause, repeat until done. When doing this, did you just use the EPB alone or did you help it out with footbrake ?
Given the nightmare I had getting the rear seized disks off in the first place I want to ask the dumb questions up front. Measure twice, cut once is a truism that I have learnt in the passing of years ;-)
Thanks!
