Release the EPB. Pull the fuse. Back of the adjuster all the way.

I think its F8 under the bonnet, but to be honest I didn't pull it. I just remembered not to apply the park brake whilst it was dismantled!
No diagnostics needed at all. Just a small torch and a thin flat screwdriver to see and release the adjuster.

OK, so what would happen if the EPB was applied with the drum/disc off...... 
An explosion of parts or just a mess to sort out?
Just interested as it's summat I'd prolly do  Stew,

I reckon the epb module would go beyond full travel and jam.

Found it
I also found it easiest to put the whole back end up in the air, getting around the Park issue with the knob,
