  Q: How to remove and install the Parking Brake Shoe on BMW 335i?

  A:

  Remove the parking brake handle boot and relieve the Parking Brake Cable tension by using a screwdriver to lock the parking brake handle adjuster, pressing the stop spring back to engage the hook. Raise the rear of the car and remove the wheels. Without disconnecting the brake fluid hose, remove the rear Brake Calipers from the trailing arms and then remove the rear brake rotors. Ensure that the brake caliper assembly does not hang from the brake hose; support it from the chassis with strong wire. Unhook the upper return spring from the brake shoes, noting the position of the parking brake shoe adjuster, and then unhook the lower return spring. Rotate the hub flange to align the lug hole with the return spring and remove the brake shoe retaining pins using a 6 mm Allen wrench. Rotate the retainer a quarter turn to release it, then spread the shoes apart and lift them out. Apply a thin coat of grease to the sliding parts and pins before reassembly, and ensure that the installation is the reverse of removal while adjusting the parking brake accordingly.
