Hello, I felt the "thunk in reverse" and bought hand brake shoes and the hardware kit-both from Scan Tech via a company here in the States. Removed the rotors and saw that 3 of the four shoes had NO LINING on them. One looked OK. There was tons of dust though. Replaced the parts. Brought the cable adjuster back up. All is well. I'm so glad I didn't get the destruction which so many have reported. 'Twas a 2002 V70 base with 138,000 miles. HAD to be the original shoes. Kira
