Handbrake Shoe Set, Rear – Mercedes-Benz EQV, eVito & Vito E-Cell
This rear handbrake shoe set fits inside the rear disc hub. The shoes are 186 mm across and 20 mm wide, with 5.5 mm lining thickness including the backing, and are ECE R90 approved.
The handbrake shoes work in a drum inside the rear discs. On an electric van they are rarely used, so they and their springs often seize or corrode. A weak handbrake will not hold the van on a slope and fails the MOT. Check the rear discs while they are off. Exercise the handbrake now and then to stop the shoes seizing. The specifications below show the size and type, so you can compare them with your old part before ordering. The fitment table lists every electric version the bilstein group parts finder shows for this part, with its power output.
