The above method looks like it might work, but always danger of damaging seal.

Having studied what little i can find i will be going along the path, jack up vehicle, ebrake off, disconnect plug at calipers, remove motor gearbox assembly, release bleed nipple and screw back piston from the motor drive end. Insert pads, refit motor and plug, replicate on opposite side, then lower vehicle and set ebrake to park then drive carefully. Hopefully the ebrake adjusts to take up slack and finds its new position.

There was some suggestion in a document about the only way to release in an emergency is to remove ebrake motor/gearbox.

Anybody tried this.
