How to remove and replace the Parking Brake Shoe on BMW X5?

Raise the rear of the car and remove the road wheels. Without disconnecting the brake fluid hose, remove the rear brake calipers from the trailing arms and take out the rear brake rotors. Ensure the brake caliper assembly does not hang from the brake hose; support it from the chassis with strong wire. Unhook the return springs from the brake shoes and remove the brake shoe retaining pins using a BMW special tool or an equivalent. Rotate the retainer a quarter turn to release it, then spread the shoes apart and lift them out, noting the position of the brake shoe adjuster, as the right side is illustrated and the left is a mirror image. Apply a thin coat of grease to the sliding parts and pins before reassembly, and ensure the installation is the reverse of removal while adjusting the parking brake cables.

BMW X5 Parking Brake Shoe

The BMW X5 Parking Brake Shoe is specially designed to lock wheels firmly, so your SUV will not roll on slopes or at parking. This part is engaged by cables or electric motors and presses the lining against a small drum in the rear rotor. Unlike the service brakes that use hydraulics, it stops rotation through friction. The early BMW X5 generations made use of assemblies that were purely cable driven. A hand lever tugging twin cables expanded the Parking Brake Shoe inside the rotor drum. Later iterations of the BMW X5 were equipped with optional electronic parking brakes, where a motor tightens the cables or drives the rear caliper pistons directly, but the friction task remains the job of the Parking Brake Shoe. In normal driving, the shoe is idle. If the system is seldom applied, corrosion could seize the adjusters and reduce the bite. So, periodic application keeps the parts free. The Parking Brake Shoe, regardless of the type of parking brake, is compact, independent of the hydraulic circuit and specifically sized for every BMW X5 chassis. The Parking Brake Shoe is essential for optimal performance.
