How to retract the caliper pistons on cars with electric power brake.

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Brake system

In this video, we can see how to retract the actuators of the brake calipers on a vehicle's braking system - it doesn't matter which one - that has an electric brake booster. Naturally, it is necessary to remove the wheel and lift the vehicle to work more effectively. First, we need to unscrew the electric motor, which is secured with two hex nuts, and then we use a reverse Torx socket to unscrew the screw located at the back. Once the screw is sufficiently loosened, we can use a flathead screwdriver to push the piston inside, and at this point, the caliper will be released.
