Did my rear brake pads this morning. Saved a ton of $ since the local shop wanted $400 for just the rear. They said it was because it had the electronic e-brake and would have to be hooked up to a computer. BS. You Tube showed me how to put everything in maintenance mode then reset after completion. This impact gun made removing and reinstalling the wheels/tires a breeze.

What vehicle requires a computer adjustment during a brake job ? Just curious....

Yes, what vehicle?
My 2018 F150. Like someone said, it has to be put into maintenance mode for some reason. My guess is to release the pressure to push the piston back in. The DIY method worked great for me without a computer or scan tool.
