HOW do you do it?

How do you relieve brake pressure on a car so it can roll without starting it?
My car is a M6, and the tow truck is coming soon, and it won't start, but needs to roll to get on the truck? The Ebrake is on now since it's a M6, will releasing it release all 4 brakes?

And I dont get what your asking. If your foot isnt on the pedal, I dont see why the brakes are grabbing.

Me neither, for some reason, my front brakes are compressed, without the car on, they won't go back on the rotor, the tolerance is too tight.

You should be able to put it in neutral, take the ebrake off and push it around

did you take the caliper off the rotor? if so you need to get some c-clamps and push the pistons back in in order to get the caliper back onto the rotor.
