No need, when you do the rears take off the ebrake motor on the caliper with the two bolts then insert a torx bit or allen wrench and insert into the caliper where the motor came out and turn it in until it stops turning, I can't remember which way but you'll be able to tell if you're going the wrong way. Once you get the new pads in and the caliper in place tighten the ebrake by hand and then turn out 1/2 turn. When reassembling make sure the gear meshes properly, it won't bolt up unless they mesh and don't force it just take the motor back off and turn it by hand until they mesh. Never had an issue doing it this way, before you drive it hit the E brake a couple times and it will home itself.
