Replacing all pads on C-Max (05) ghia. Fronts I have no problem with. Please some info on the rears.
Has electronic parking brake. Is this disabled at the caliper or just turn ignition on to release?
And do I need a special tool to wind piston into caliper?

Better off to use the correct tool to wind back there is kits available approx £55.00 i have seen a cube that you use a ratchet with never used one myself, you could try waterpump pliers and a screwdriver just don't slip and tear the piston seal! good luck.
