Hello all, I wonder if anybody could shed any light on the small problem which I’m having. ( Might be small but it is really giving me a very scratched head.) I recently replaced the handbrake shoes on my 2004 E 70, I cannot seem to get them to sit still inasmuch as despite the fact that I think I fitted it correctly, they still wobble a little, there’s about half an inch of play in them and I can’t seem to get the new disk over the top of them without the disk remaining in contact with them. I have wound the tensioner all the way in but they still appear locked. Could it be that the holes on the back plate have grown large with the passage of time? Or once they are prodded through the whole unturned is there a specific angle they must sit up or is clipped to the inside simply sufficient? Thanks in advance for any info. Cheers, Paul.
