Sorted one of these out today, it was seized on, on the osr and the motor wasn't working.
I've never got involved with electronic parking brakes before so it was a learning curve for me.
Two T30's hold the motor to the caliper, then wind out the piston with a T40.
The motor casing had broken at the gear end and was allowing muck and grime in..Cleaned it all out with brake cleaner, checked the drive belt and re-assembled..A gentle tap on the motor casing and with the motor in my hand and plugged in operated the handbrake on and off..
Put it all back together and jobs a goodun..
20 minutes of playing about and zero cost.
