Halfway through he describes this as malicious compliance with the “right to repair” law. Apple and others are making a mockery of the law.

      Yeah, i watched the video and the dude just yap and yap and yap non-stop, and the actual content is only at the front of it.

      That trick works with all EPB, you can also take off the motor and turn the mechanism yourself, that’s how all backyard mechanic does it for every car with EPB without buying the tools meant for workshop. There’s nothing special to it. Dude could’ve save a lot by send it to dealership instead.

      Edit: also all car with EPB works that way, this is not uniquely hyundai, you need a scan tool to retract that piston, or you do it the way backyard mechanic do. There’s like so much unnecessary drama here.

        You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

          Anyone that doesn’t agree with you and the guy’s boot you’re licking is a bootlicker. Nice, it’s always projection. This place isn’t much different than reddit after all, full of idiots that know nothing but want to proof everything. Easily manipulated by the slimeball too it seems.

        The drama is that this is an entirely unnecessary step that adds extra work for the technician/owner that wants to change rear brake pads/rotors, which are a wear item.

        I’ve been doing brakes on mine and my family’s cars for over a decade. It’s dramatically cheaper to buy pads and rotors and swap them myself, and if I do it myself I know that it was done right and there’s antiseize everywhere it should be. So now in addition to all the work of jacking the car up, removing tires, removing the calipers, depressing the caliper, cleaning the hub, coating the hub with antiseize, cleaning the guide pins, reinstalling and torquing everything to spec, I now have to get a battery/transformer/charger and wire into a sensor to tell the stupid fucking computer that the pads and rotors are new. Why can’t the computer use a position sensor to just detect that there’s now thicker material there? Why isn’t there just an option in the maintenance settings that you can press to say that you’ve done the work and to reset the maintenance interval? Fuck this shit, doing brakes is already a time sink if you live in the rust belt, and this system adds nothing but an extra cost or extra work to the person performing the work. There’s no safety gain from it existing, it’s fucking stupid.

          For us technician? It’s a very quick work. For you guys? It’s an additional 30min per side, give or take, and for a job that you’ll be only doing once per few years if you don’t drift. Rear brake wear significantly slower than the front, and this is a rear brake issue. That’s the drama. You guys are crying about additional work for something that you do once a few years.

        I’m a mechanic and no, you cannot do that
