Re: [MBZ] 210 parking brakes
I pulled the cable housing loose from the backing plate when I was working on the wheel bearing on my W163. Just grabbed the cable end with pliers and yanked, and it pulled the housing back into place.

Re: [MBZ] 210 parking brakes
One other thing to note, it the peach part post, the part the cable attaches to seems to be somewhat flush with the actuator body facing outward where as mine the leaver is pulled in. The shoes should be resting against the big tab at the bottom. On mine with one shoe resting on the tab the other will be out about 1/4". On 7/17/2019 6:00 PM, Kaleb C.

Looking at this post: https://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Mercedes-Benz/29-BRAKES-Parking_Brake_Replacement/29-BRAKES-Parking_Brake_Replacement.htm I figured out how to get it back together and how the bottom actuator thing works. With it all back together the shoes are way too far apart at the bottom and the brake disk wont go back on. It appears to me as if the parking brake cable does not extend far enough out. In other words, it appears as if that side is like the parking brake is set. The passenger side spins free. When I activate the parking brake passenger side locks up tight, like it should.
