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

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.

BMW 335i Parking Brake Shoe

When the hand lever is pulled, the BMW 335i Parking Brake Shoe clamps the inner rotor drum to lock the rear wheels for a steady hold on slopes and in traffic. This Parking Brake Shoe has a rigid steel back and grippy lining that creates strong friction without the help of hydraulics in harsh weather. Throughout its arc of contact, the Parking Brake Shoe allows for even wear and predictable performance for miles to come. This ensures durability seen from BMW drivers. Due to the instant retraction of the Parking Brake Shoe by return springs of the 335i, it moves with zero drag and better fuel economy. Owners can monitor the visible wear marks and swap out a Parking Brake Shoe before the grip fades, preserving the sharp throttle and steering feel of the 335i. Every coupe and convertible 335i uses the identical standard design, so a single Parking Brake Shoe simplifies stocking and assures factory quality fit. Such simplicity mirrors the wider BMW effort for lightweight modular parts that cut complexity down. Since the Parking Brake Shoe functions entirely mechanically, the car remains secure even if the battery goes dead. Every 335i has a distinct superiority in icy driving and loading gear thanks to this feature. The low mass of the components allows the heat to dissipate off the rotor quickly, which enhances fade resistance. Furthermore, this ensures that 335i enthusiasts have a drama-free spirited run, and BMW's performance is relied upon. The success of this BMW part in the market is due to the perfect balance of performance, safety, and ease. Opt for original equipment, and trust BMW every time you pull the lever.
