w208 park brake adjustment

[chrisf-1]

Hi again everyone can anyone tell me how I should adjust my park brake shoes on my 1999 w208 cab as I have fitted a new cable and believe I have put the shoes on correctly (a pic would be great to check) but when the disc is replaced there is no way to get to the adjuster so how do I adjust it thanks Chris

There should be a hole in the brake disc assembly that lines up with the hole for the adjuster mechanism for the brake shoes in the parking brake. Have you replaced the disc and lined it up correctly?

I have replaced the disc but did not see any obvious adjusting hole only wheel bolt threaded holes but I will take a wheel of tomorrow if it is not raining and check again I am now wondering if the discs are missing them as they are from ebay thanks Chris

Yes, they are accessed through the bolt holes....

Has anyone done a video of changing brake shoes on YouTube to help out novices?

I really wish they would I have all mine back together but I sometimes get a metal to metal sound on corners but not all the time so how on earth can I find it with the wheels off
