Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear brake size and application details before installation, especially on the 1999 BMW 328i with 6.3" x 0.99" brakes. Inspect the parking brake hardware, backing plate contact points, and drum surface inside the rotor hat before installing Bendix 818. Clean all contact surfaces and verify lever movement so the rear parking brake shoes seat evenly.
