EPB adjust

Hi again (second post today)

I recently jammed my EPB and had to manually release them use my IID to unjam three times to make it work. It screeched like crazy until unnamed then seems tonhve been working fine for a month now

Although am aware I need to readjust the brake pads and service apparently

My question is:

Must I remove the wheels and readjust the barrels 8 clicks before bedding them in using the 10x stop routine? Or can I just do the stop start routine to adjust them please?

I tried lifting the back end to remove wheels but my jack bent and I gave up

So I’m hoping I can get away with bedding in only?

The whole system was replaced about 18 months ago new module and pads etc

Ideall want to not remove wheels etc

You have got to remove the wheels to adjust, they are ready for a service anyway, LR recommend every 50 miles in hardous conditions Shocked otherwise every service, neglect them at your peril! It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Thanks so does that mean remove wheels but not drums? Tighten the adjusters and undo the hex bolt for the shoe locker thing?

Can I do one wheel at a time or does the back end need to be lifted completely for an even tension

Get a bottle jack like this.

Red bottle jack and 2 rods to pump it up.

Only need to do one side at a time.

I wouldn’t use the bedding in process unless shoes are brand new.

Thanks so the main goal is to undo the wheels and adjust the barrels tight then 8 clicks loosen? Disco 3 SE Manual 2005 V6 2.7

I did watch all these I’m just trying to do as little as possible out of frustration my jack broke haha

I’ve got a bottle Jack I’ll try to do it with one wheel lifted using that truck to make it raise a wheel. Might be easier. Put the jack under the wishbone and it auto raises. Disco 3 SE Manual 2005 V6 2.7

There should be 2 wheel chocks in the back of the car.
Put them at the front of the front tyres when the car is jacked up. Don’t forget to remove!

Halfords sell axel stands. Do need to be safe with these heavy D3
