Question 560 SL Parking Brake ADJ or Replacement

Hi, After doing the search and reading the Q&A on parking brakes I would like to know if anyone knows where I can find diagrams and instructions for doing the work? I am a visual learner and like pictures.

I assume the the parking brake shoes are in some way hidden behind (inside) the rotors and I would like to know how I can tell if there is any lining material on the shoes without removing the rotors? I would prefer not to beat on the rotors with out knowing what I should do to if I need to replace the shoes.

I see that the cost of parts is about $35.00 If anyone has done this what should I watch out for? Thre is plenty of lining on the braking pads but just wanted to check out the parking brake too.

Is there any adjustment that is made to the parking brake cables?

I read Ethans' answer to sms and the others and I will check this out.

Thanks for all of your help, Monty
