This is basically the same drum/disk arrangement as many bmw models (e30, e36, z3, m3 etc...) . I put the Pelican articles for the e30. Note: The star adjuster for the ti is at ~12 o clock where the e30 is is clocked differently, but the process is the same... e30 shoe replacement: http://www.pelicanparts.com/bmw/tech...Brake-Shoe.htm e30 parking brake adjustment: http://www.pelicanparts.com/bmw/tech..._brake_adj.htm __________________ Alpine Weiß 1995 318ti M50tu mostly stock, chip'd 413, AFE Intake. e36 M3 front brakes, e30 M3 rear calipers. e28 3.25 LSD + e30 axles.

The Bentley manual says to use dikes to grab it, that is what I did and it sucked. The pelican article says to pry out the adjuster which is probably a much better way to go. __________________ Alpine Weiß 1995 318ti M50tu mostly stock, chip'd 413, AFE Intake. e36 M3 front brakes, e30 M3 rear calipers. e28 3.25 LSD + e30 axles.
