Apologies if this is covered somewhere else - but i cant find anything searching the forum
How do you put the epb into maintenance mode on the Discovery 4 if you dont have any electronic gadgets? I read Bodsys excellent guide - but it only shows the method using the key.
Can i just start the car, release the parking brake then pull a fuse?
Similarly - how do you get it to do the bedding/calibration cycle once the shoes are replaced?
Thanks for any help with this.

I recently changed the EPB shoes, pads and discs on my D4 and like you I do not have an IID tool. I just released the handbrake, removed the fuse and fully wound back the adjuster. I did have some difficulty removing the disc on one side as the lever on one of the shoes was seized solid.
When it was all re-assembled I adjusted the brakes (I think you need to back off 8 clicks) operated the handbrake several times re-checked the adjuster.
This may not have been the book way of doing it but as the brake was not put into service mode I could see no reason for it not to work properly. I did try applying the brake at about 20mph and it stopped perfectly and has been fine for the last 3 months.
I hope this helps.
P.S. Bodseys brake bible is a must read if you have not done so already.

Apologies - long time user - but I've forgotten my password and waiting for the original account to be reset.

Fireburst - thanks for the reply - will go check out which fuse it is. Access to the D4 fuses is a nightmare.
