Hello everyone

I need to change my rear discs and pads on my late 2012 scenic 3

You confirm that to push the piston back I have to do exactly as in the tutorial? Turn the back of the caliper clockwise until it stops?

And is it mandatory to disconnect the electric handbrake motor or can I leave it connected? If disconnecting, is there a risk of a warning light?

Sincerely

No need for a suitcase because it is hydropic, just the parking brake which is electric
