Any one replaced the rear brake pads. Could see a few problems as it looks like it needs to plugged into a computer to retract the pistons.
Any easy way to do the job?

Seen elsewhere might do it manually if piston screwed in clockwise, which makes some sense, perhaps release bleed nipple if excess fluid.
Anyone know what fluid is used.
Spotted this;

"Emergency Release"

"No parking brake emergency release function is provided for the customer. The parking brake can be released using the BMW diagnosis system or the EMF actuators are removed and the spindle is turned back manually"
Realise a lot of people on here are probably still using some service agreement they bought with the car, but now 3 years on they are in the second hand market so need to know some diy stuff.
