The parking brake shoes are replaced with the hub in place by removing and installing the the hold down springs through the round holes. Just rotate the hub until the hold down springs are accessible through the holes.

I use the special Mercedes T style hold down spring tool and also the separate Mercedes spring pulling tool. Makes life much easier!

Hope this helps.
