BMW 34416761292 Repair Kit Brake Shoe Asbestos-Free

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.

Carefully pry up the parking brake lever boot from the center console. Remove the rear section of the center console if necessary for access. Apply the parking brake, then use a screwdriver to push the spring stop back until the retaining hook engages with the stop. Remove the rear brake disc, making a note of the installed position of all components. Using a pair of pliers, carefully unhook and remove the parking brake shoe return springs. Release the shoe retaining pins using pliers by depressing them and rotating them through 90-degrees, then remove the pins and springs. Remove both parking brake shoes and the shoe adjuster mechanism, noting how it is installed. Inspect the parking brake shoes for wear or contamination, and replace if necessary. It is recommended that the return springs are replaced as a matter of course. While the shoes are removed, clean and inspect the condition of the shoe adjuster and expander mechanisms; replace them if they show signs of wear or damage. Apply a fresh coat of high-temperature brake grease to the threads of the adjuster wheel and sliding surfaces of the expander mechanism. Do not allow the grease to contact the shoe friction material. Prior to installation, clean the backing plate, and apply a thin smear of high-temperature brake grease to all those surfaces of the backing plate which bear on the shoes. Do not allow the grease to contact the shoe friction material. Place the shoes in position and secure them with the retaining pins and springs. Make sure the lower ends of the shoes are correctly engaged with the expander, then slide the adjuster mechanism into position between the upper ends of the shoes. Check that all components are correctly installed, and install the upper and lower return springs using a pair of pliers. Center the parking brake shoes and install the brake disc. If removed from the expander, insert the parking brake cable end through the backing plate and into the expander. Prior to installing the wheel, adjust the parking brake.
