You sound pretty stupid. Even if you were right, this is wildly unnecessary to go through to change brakes. I’ve been changing my own brakes since I learned to drive and have never had to touch anything other than the wheels and brake pedals. Your take is wild.
It's EPB, do you even know what is EPB? Projection much? The thing work exactly like this with home mechanic able to repair it no issue for years, now one idiot with no common sense decided to buy a super expensive tools that isn't meant for them and still failed at the task at hand, then a manipulative youtuber decided this is a problem, and then suddenly this become a huge problem as if the world is ending.
Edit: look, i know emotion is running high now because everyone favorite guy is wrong, but do yourself a favour and find out what EPB are, why it's actually better and safer, and how long before you need to change your rear brake, not front brake, rear brake.
I never said you were stupid, I said you sound stupid. If I need anything other than a basic toolkit and replacement pads to change my brakes, that’s a problem to me. And yes, I do know what an EPB is, and I don’t like them. Like a lot of electronic systems, they can fail. I’ve driven a car that automatically engages the EPB when put in park and turning it off rarely worked as intended.
Who’s stupid now? Neither of us, but you still sound stupid.
Well we all hope stuff can be as simple as abc but unfortunately this ain't the world we live in, champ. Your take just sounds like you don't like the stuff and anyone who disagree with you is stupid.
If you didn't have anything smart to say, i'll take my leave then.
