Hehe, some springs will really test you on a car. The parking brake spring is definitely one of those. We have been having steady cold here now for a month, sitting around the -10ºC mark, 14ºF, so looking forward to a bit warmer weather and a bit more snow. Best of luck with the right one and have a good weekend! 😊

Just wanted to say thank you and well done! I did mine tonight with Bodsy's brake bible in hand, but I must say, having your video as a guide helped to show some of the small details that I couldn't make out. Guys like you help the community of wrenching Land Rover fanatics tremendously!

On the LR4/RRS the instructions say to lever the parking brake shoes at the cog adjuster towards the center of the wheel with a flathead screwdriver before doing the rest of the adjustments, but great video. Helped me out a ton.

Nice video, not sure I would use Anti seize AND thread lock on the same bolt through! That small bolt only stops the disc falling on your toes - just a dab of anti-seize is all it needs for easier future brake jobs.

Nice job Simon. I did mine a few months ago so I know the struggle with regards to getting the shoes over the bar and getting the clips over the pins with only one pair of hands! 😂 Well done my friend, it's coming along nicely 😊👍 One thing I would have done is sprayed the shoes with brake cleaner too, they looked like they might have picked up some grease. I know mine did after wrestling them in and the back plate contacts having copper grease on them, it's a job not to get it on the friction material!

Hey and thanks. Yeah definitely a personal victory wrestling the last shoe into place. 😂 And a great tip to clean the shoes, I didn’t even think of it. Maybe lucky so I got friction right away when testing. But I will definitely do it next time, would have been such a bummer if they just kept on slipping after all that work. 😅😅

Great set of videos, I did my LR3 rear park brake shoes today, one thing, I did notice the splash guard has some notches cut in it where the adjuster is and the other spring adjuster is. :)

What is the anti-corrosion spray that you applied inside the disc for the parking brake shoe?

Hey, the EPB module should be set in service mode. This will release the tension on the wires that goes out to the brake shoes. If you google "bodsys brake bible" you can see a detailed reading on this whole thing. 😉

Hi good video, thanks for up loading! I am rebuilding my neighbours handbrake on a range rover sport..the car was sabotaged and had the complete rear wheel fall off and the handbrake assembly fell out in the road, took ages to find a good diagram and the part number for the lower handbrake plate. I'm curious as to what the yellow cable tie on the lower plate is used for? the kit i have ordered comes with one included

Hey and thank you! It’s for when your mounting the plate with the spring on, to make it easier to put on as it’s gets a bit in the way when you need to pull the shoe over the plate. Just remember to cut it of afterwards. 😊

I watched many of your videos and I also like learning and repairing my own vehicle but for some strange reason I can't get the parking brake pads install correctly its driving me nuts and now I discovered rusty leaking brake lines easy to repair but wow , anyway I do have the haynes land rover repair book the park on parking brake that's holding me up is the flat metal with spring one side goes in easy but other end has a diffent end on that the part that confusing to me and the final adjustment

Getting the shoes in can be a bit tricky. Not sure how to explain it better than the video. 🤔

Finally got parking brake installed Correctly I am mechanical minded person and have installed parking brakes on other vehicles bit land rover can be difficult if you don't know and understand the correct process, if I had a you tube channel I would show how the parts go together before installing them , this is most important because thousands of diy people trying to save money without using a shop , I got very frustrated and had to go do something else to take my mind off of it , it was the correct position of the flat plate with zip tie and the adjustment screw was the issue the adjustment screw need to be flush so you can get the flat plate installed so you can get the rotor back on and also lining up the adjustment screw and screw that holds plate in correct location by lifting both tires off ground I learn this by watching lr time doing parking brake job this was very frustrating to me it's the little details are the most important

Great feedback James and glad you got it sorted in the end. 👍 Showing it all how it goes together in the beginning in the video is smart and will take that into account if I make more diy videos in the future. 👍 Some things, when you know it, you take for granted that people understand and I do my best with multiple camera angles to show as much details as I can. 😊 There is also the battle between making it entertaining for some and learning for others. See the discussion here: www.youtube.com/@LandRoverDrive/community and feel free to add your thoughts. 👍 Good that you write the details and your problems in a comment so others can read and learn. What's make this channel great and the more we share the more we can learn. Thanks again James. Best, Simon.

Not sure if it matters, but looks like you put the adjuster in the other way around. The turning wheel should be on the left, not on the right. This confused me a bit when I saw how you were turning the wheel to adjust the tightness of the shoes.

@@LandRoverDrive I don't think it's the camera angle. Just keep in mind that because you flipped the direction of the adjuster, in the future if you need to adjust the parking brake you should turn the wheel in the opposite direction of what the book says. E.g. by the book turning the adjuster wheel towards the center of the car wheel to push the brake shoes tighter against the brake disc, in your case you should turn the opposite way for the same purpose.

I usually release the top tensioner first, as prescribed, and then tighten it up the lower tensioner completely, before unwinding it again, 8 times was it 🤔, during service, so I just find the way it tightens because I done really remember the way. 😊 How often do you retighten yours?

@@LandRoverDrive It's my first time doing this actually, so I found your video very helpful. Unfortunately, this didn't fix my EPB problem. The parking brake can engage fine every time (even after pulling the manual release cable), but when I press the Parking brake button down to release it doesn't do anything (no grinding noise), if I hold the button down for several seconds then a warning "Parking Brake Fault" comes on. The fault goes away if I turn the car off and back on. There is no persistent code. Based on that symptom, I don't think my EPB module is jammed but there might be actually an electronic issue with the module... I might have to replace the whole module unit.

I think I do it in my other video, but not sure. I used the zip tie but if I remember correctly it fell off during the rebuild and I don't think I put it in the video in the end. So long ago. It's a smart tip and definitely helpful. I found the hard part was getting to the zip tie afterwards and cutting it loose. 😊

Smart way would’ve been if British engineers would’ve had a little bit of brain when they designed this vehicles 😂 but God did not give them that gift this whole break. System is ridiculous. I can imagine how much Mechanic they hated to work in Land Rover dealership. You have to be the dumbest person to design vehicle like that. Overall beautiful vehicles don’t get me wrong.
