How to Diagnose or Replace

1. Loosen the lug nuts, lift the Edge safely, and support it on rated jack stands.
2. Enter Electric Parking Brake service mode before removing any rear caliper hardware.
3. Remove the two caliper slide bolts, then lift the caliper off the rotor.
4. Retract the piston: press-and-turn the front, use the EPB retract for the rear.
5. Swap the pads, grease the slide pins, and remove the rotor retaining screw.
6. Fit the new rotor and pads, reinstall the caliper, and torque the bolts.
7. Exit service mode, pump the pedal firm, and torque lugs before test driving.

Cost Breakdown - DIY vs Shop

Install Tips - Where Most DIYers Go Wrong

• Put the Electric Parking Brake into service mode before touching either rear caliper.
• Never force an EPB piston with a C-clamp; use the retract procedure or tool.
• Torque lug nuts to about 150 lb-ft in a star pattern after mounting wheels.
