Rear brake job - ebrake in service mode?

[Quijote]

Later this week I'll tackle a full rear brake job. My 2013 LR4 is 6.5 years old with 42k miles. I replaced the rear pads with OEM pads at 22k miles and 3.5 years ago.

I have OEM rear discs and bought EBC yellow pads for the rear. But I just noticed that those pads did not come with the retaining clips or new hardware. I can't seem to be able to buy just the those items either. My plan was to reuse the existing stuff with some cleaning and new thread lock.

My question has to do with the e-brake. Atlantic British video suggests that the process is really no different than on older cars. That is, retract the e-brake shoes, replace disc, re-set the e-brake shoes and gently bed them. However, I was under the impression that the e-brake system had to be in service mode the shop manual for 2011 Disco's suggest the same.

Thoughts?

When I replaced my rear rotors on my 2015 I put the parking brake into service mode. No problems or issues. Everything went smoothly.

Cool. Thanks. I found Bodsy's Bible.

In short it does need to be in service mode.

I didn't bother with any of the fancy procedures and replaced rear rotors and pads. I did adjust the parking shoes. Brakes work, parking brake holds on steep hills. Key is: Don't touch the EPB switch while working on rear brakes. Easy.

I think Service mode is preferable, I changed my ebrake shoes when disengaged. Don’t mess with the switch while working on them. If you run into problems send me a message. Take picture before, I have a video of putting them back on that I need to post.

you can change the park brake shoes without going into service mode. Just sometimes is easier if it is.
