Default Anyone change the parking brake shoes ? - Any inside tips ?

Hello all -

Looks like I need to change parking brakes shoes - anybody do the job and have some tips on getting it done quickly ? I've done them on other cars with the little "twist spring" retainers and all the little parts, etc - any different on the 951 ?

Thanks -

No its a standard brake shoe setup. Twist springs and an adjuster. Screw in the adjuster, install shoes, adjust so there is minimal drag and the handbrake lever position feels right. The cable adjustment should not need to be touched but if it does, its at the back of the handle.
