Removal
Attention. The description applies to front-wheel drive vehicles. Due to the different design of the rear suspension, the parking brake cables are located differently in all-wheel drive vehicles. However, in principle, removal and installation are carried out in the same way.
Use paint to mark the position of the wheel relative to the hub. This is necessary to reinstall the wheel in its original position, which maintains its balance.
With the vehicle standing on its wheels, loosen the rear wheel mounting bolts.
Raise the rear of the car and secure it on stands, remove the bolts and remove the wheels.
Remove the front section of the heat shield.
Unscrew the nuts and move the main section of the heat shield forward (see fig. 11.24).
Loosen the parking brake cables as follows.
- Remove clamp D (fig. 11.25).
- Turn the adjusting sleeve C to the stop A, while holding the flange of the adjusting sleeve E with a 13 mm wrench.
- Slide the parking brake cable housings.

Installation
If present, remove any non-reusable plastic parts from the parking brake cable compensator.

Through the console, insert the ball head into the parking brake cable compensator.
Secure the parking brake cable to the console.
Attach the parking brake cable to the calipers and secure them with clamps.
Secure the parking brake cable to the holders on the rear beam.

Apply a thin layer of grease to the flange that centers the wheel disc. Install the wheel, aligning the previously applied marks, and secure it with bolts. Lower the car to the ground and tighten the wheel mounting bolts to a torque of 120 Nm.
All-wheel drive vehicles
