Replaced the e-brake hardware on my project V70XC. Was worried that the previous owner had done a number on the hub but it was fine. I really hate fiddling with that e-brake. While reinstalling, I noticed that if the shoe retainer springs don't have enough spring, the brake shoes get a bit loose. I think this could make for a really annoying rattle when going over bumps.
