Hi, I am in the process of replacing my rear wheel bearings. I did the passenger side, and while I did that, I removed the parking/e-brake assembly to avoid damaging it. I re-installed it after installing the new bearing, and everything is fine on that side.
However, on my test drive, the parking brake on the driver's side essentially fell apart after a couple of miles of driving... the wheel locked up and everything... it was a bit scary tbh... I got my car back in the garage, removed the rotor, and the parking brake fell to the floor, completely destroyed. Was this a result of me removing and re-installing on the other side? If so, how can I avoid this issue in the future? I ordered new shoes and hardware and will be replacing on both sides.
Thanks!
