I have a 2018 Ecosport SE that needs brakes. When trying the first rear wheel, and removing the brake hardware and brake pads, I was unable to compress the brakepad cylinder. I have the compressor tool, and it still would not budge. So I put the whole thing back together and I'm stuck with no brakes still.
Am I missing a step? A neighbor told me to open the break fluid container in the engine bay, but I have not done so yet. I do not wish to take the whole thing apart again unless/until I have a clear process to follow. I checked YouTube, and no one mentions the brake fluid container. The hand brake works, it tightens the cylinder. I could not find an easy wy to loosen the hand brake in case that is the culprit.
Any and all ideas will be welcome
