I have replaced the whole knuckle hub assembly instead of replacing the bearing by itself. I installed the brake shoes cable, but I am trying to find out how to insert it into its bracket, do you have any pictures or instructions on that? I don't have power e-brake, but regular hand brake.
The car listed above is 328i.

Hi,

I'm not 100% sure exactly what you are referring to. So, I attached directions for several things below hoping it covers what you need.

The first five pics are the directions for installing the brake cables. The remaining pics are the directions for brake shoe replacement and adjustment.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

I got it done, all good except for the painful rear brake shoes cable and brake components for the e-brake, these are always a pain.
