I have 51k on my 11 RRS and I replaced rear rotors and pads with genuine parts at weekend. (Fronts done late last year)
I re-adjusted EPB pads by feel as I did not have socket the correct size for the hub retaining nut in order to check torque.
After bedding in the rear external brake pads I let brakes cool down and completed EPB bedding in procedure. Rear rotors got surprisingly hot but I guess if I am bring a 6000 lb vehicle to a complete halt on one set of drum brakes, they are working hard.
Anyway, I have tested EPB for holding on moderate hill and also engaged at stop lights and when it auto releases its smooth.
I know regular drum brakes self adjust for wear but mechanism on EPB does look not so comprehensive.
As such, I am wondering if there is any self adjusting and clicking over one notch at a time to expand pads as they wear.
