A parking brake shoe kit for the Bmw 740li Xdrive restores complete parking brake function, not just the friction lining. The most common reason a freshly serviced 740li Xdrive parking brake fails to hold on a hill is not worn shoes: it is a seized adjuster that prevents the shoe-to-drum clearance from being correctly set after installation on your Bmw 740li Xdrive. In the enclosed drum-in-hat cavity of the 740li Xdrive, road salt and meltwater concentrate corrosion on the adjuster threads, the return springs, and the strut. A kit that includes every hardware component alongside the shoes is the only way to guarantee the Bmw 740li Xdrive parking brake performs correctly after service.
The kit for your Bmw 740li Xdrive includes parking brake shoes with OEM-grade friction lining at the correct arc length and lining width for the 740li Xdrive drum-in-hat diameter, return springs that retract both shoes cleanly after the 740li Xdrive parking brake is released, hold-down hardware with springs and pins that locate the shoes while permitting actuation on your Bmw 740li Xdrive, the parking brake strut connecting both shoes through the 740li Xdrive mechanism, the adjusting screw assembly setting correct shoe-to-drum clearance for reliable holding force on your Bmw 740li Xdrive, and retaining clips and washers securing the strut and adjuster in correct operating position on the 740li Xdrive.
The parking brake shoe adjuster on the Bmw 740li Xdrive sets the gap between the shoes and the inner drum surface of the 740li Xdrive rotor hat. In American winters, the drum-in-hat cavity of the 740li Xdrive traps road salt and moisture. The adjuster threads on your Bmw 740li Xdrive corrode and seize, sometimes within a single winter season. A seized adjuster on the 740li Xdrive produces a parking brake that either drags against the drum when released or fails to hold the Bmw 740li Xdrive on a slope when engaged.
Parking brake shoe kits for the Bmw 740li Xdrive are among the most vehicle-specific brake components in the catalogue. The shoe arc length, lining width, spring rates, strut length, and adjuster thread specification for the 740li Xdrive are all determined by the specific drum-in-hat diameter of the Bmw 740li Xdrive rotor. Every kit in the GeoBrakes catalogue is assembled for the Bmw 740li Xdrive exact year and model, with zinc-plated or coated hardware components to resist the concentrated corrosion inside the 740li Xdrive drum-in-hat cavity.
How do I know if my Bmw 740li Xdrive uses parking brake shoes?
Bmw 740li Xdrive vehicles with four-wheel disc brakes often use a drum-in-hat parking brake requiring separate shoes. Some 740li Xdrive variants instead use a caliper-actuated parking brake. Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector to confirm your Bmw 740li Xdrive parking brake type and find the correct kit.
My Bmw 740li Xdrive parking brake light stays on after I release it, do the shoes need replacing?
A warning light that stays on after full release on the Bmw 740li Xdrive can indicate worn shoes, a faulty sensor, low brake fluid, or a stretched cable on the 740li Xdrive. If the Bmw 740li Xdrive fails to hold on a slope, a shoe kit replacement combined with cable and adjuster inspection is the recommended starting point for your 740li Xdrive.
Can I adjust the parking brake on my Bmw 740li Xdrive after installing a shoe kit without replacing the cable?
Yes, if the 740li Xdrive cable is in good condition and within its adjustment range. After correct shoe installation and adjuster setting on the Bmw 740li Xdrive, adjust the cable until the brake holds firmly within three to five clicks of 740li Xdrive lever travel.
