  Q: How is the parking brake cable replaced on BMW 335i?

  A: The parking brake operates through two Bowden cables and both of them can be replaced separately. To get to the base of the parking brake handle, take out the centre console. Third of all, the airbag control module has to be disconnected. Ease tension of parking brake cable by engaging the parking brake handle adjuster by placing a screwdriver in the hole and by pressing the stop spring until the hook is engaged. Push the cable retainer in the direction of the arrows and take off the parking brake cables from the balance arm. Lift up the rear of the car and turn on on the wheels; then take out the fastener and the cable hold down. Swivel the brake rotor to get the stud hole lined up until you are capable of seeing the cable end and the expander. While pulling the parking brake cable out of the expander and backing plate press and release the spring. Operate the parking brake If it is disconnected pull the parking brake cable out of the guide tube and off the routing brackets and remember how it was positioned so it can be reconnected. The process of installation is the reverse of the removal process, and then one has to set the parking brake.
