Rear brakes

[guss]

My cars been off the road for almost a year. Booked it in for mot today,rear shoes seized
I'd left off the hand brake but not completely,and then whilst in reverse without thinking pulled up the hand brake.straight away I knew that wasnt the right thing to do,now I've booked a tow on monday to get me to the garage.
There's another little problem I can't get the garage doors past the rear bumper so the fekin car can't get out. I'm still trying to get a mobile mechanic out,is there any one who has any ideas

Get it apart and have a look armed with a can of wd and a Birmingham spanner

[guss]

How much would it cost to fix? Garage prices.

[bimanut]

It all depends on what damage you've caused,my guess is the shoe pin has been pulled out of the back plate.
Does the car move at all? Forwards or backwards

[guss]

No movement,the back lifts up when in reverse.i know it'll need new shoes,anything else I should be worried about ?

If the pin has pulled out its new wheel bearings and back plates Idd say around £100 + parts per side at a garage. Some people cut the back plate so you don't have to remove the hub and damage the bearings.

I just had new shoes, fitting kit and cylinders on the rear of my 318i for £200+vat for it's MOT the other week, parts +fluid were around £86 of that I think? - that might help you

sorry but why would the bearings need replacing?

my hand brake faid a while back due to the pin pulling through the back plate, all i did was buy a couple of nuts, bolts & washers & two new springs to hold it all together when i rebuilt it & it's been like that a few years now, never a problem with the mot either.

at most cost me just over £5.
