  Q: How to remove and install the Parking Brake Shoe on BMW Z4?

  A:

  Among the precaution measures you should always follow, then take note of the following before commencing the work. Start as mentioned above, by first and foremost, removing the rear Brake Disc and remember the Installed position of all the component. The parking brake shoe return springs can now be noiselessly and carefully unhooked and pulled out with the use of pliers. Pry downwards on the shoes, and turn the shoe retaining pins 90 degrees anticlockwise to release them and lift them out, along with the springs. Remove both parking brake shoes and copy the position of the shoe adjuster mechanism, to restore it later. Check the parking brake shoes for any signs of wear or contamination and in case of any wear, the shoes should be replaced, in addition, the return springs should also be replaced as a precaution. Lay down the car and with the shoes off, clean and inspect shoe adjuster and expander and replace them in case they are faded or damaged. If all these areas are in good condition, it is recommended that new brake grease is applied to the threads of the adjuster and the sliding surfaces of the expander mechanism but this should not come into contact with the shoe friction material. For installation, clean the backing plate and apply a small amount of high-temp brake grease or anti-seize to the interfaces which come to touching the shoes except for the friction material. It fits the parking brake shoes in the right position and fastens with the retaining pins and springs. Make sure the lower ends of the shoes will sit securely and lock over the expander, then insert the adjuster mechanism dovetailing into the upper ends of the shoes. Make sure that all the parts were assembled properly and screw the upper and lower return springs in place with a pair of pliers. Place the parking brake shoes and bolt the brake disc, set the parking brake and then fit the wheel.
