Engage the EPB a couple of times - you will hear the motor pushing the piston back into place for longer than usual on the first go.

Job done - no gadget or software uploads.

There's clearly more to it than this - axle stands, jack, wheel chocks, copper grease and so on - I'm just pointing out that it can be done manually without the electronics.

Yes there is an instruction leaflet in with new volvo rear pads
