Having just had the car serviced I have need to change the rear brake pads and discs, my car has the electric handbrake and I have been told by a workmate that the Ford Mondeo has to go on a computer to have the caliper pistons wound back in, Has anybody out there replaced there pads and did the pistons wind back in without the aid of a computer?

Thanks

Hi.

 

I changed my rear discs, carriers and pads last year and didn't need any techno-gadgets.  You will need to disconnect the battery and use a normal (?) calliper piston rewinding tool.  Word of warning - the lower slide pins have a tendency to seize.

 

Hope this helps.
