Maserati Ghibli & Quattroporte M156 Parking Brake Hardware Repair Kit | 673000034

Restore the mechanical hardware around the Maserati parking-brake shoe assembly with this vehicle-specific repair kit referenced by part number 673000034. Designed for Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte M156 applications using this hardware specification, the kit brings together the small components that are often corroded, weakened, bent or lost during parking-brake service.

What the Kit Does

A parking-brake shoe system depends on more than the friction shoes themselves. Springs must return the shoes correctly, retainers must keep the assembly located, levers must move freely and adjustment hardware must maintain the required operating geometry. The supplied kit combines stamped-metal levers and retainers, tension springs and associated small service hardware in one coordinated package.

The metal components use formed profiles and plated-looking surfaces suited to the compact, high-load environment inside the rear brake assembly. Replacing fatigued hardware during brake service can improve consistency and help prevent old springs or retainers from compromising freshly installed parking-brake shoes.

Key Benefits

• Reference number 673000034 for straightforward parts matching.
• Suitable for relevant Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte M156 parking-brake applications.
• Includes the small springs, retainers, levers and adjuster-related hardware shown in the product images.
• Supports secure shoe retention, correct spring return and reliable mechanical operation.
• Ideal to replace corroded or fatigued hardware while the rear parking-brake assembly is already open for service.

How to Replace the Hardware

1. Secure the vehicle on level ground, release the parking brake fully and raise/support the vehicle using approved lifting points.
2. Remove the rear wheel and access the parking-brake shoe assembly according to the Maserati workshop procedure. Rear brake/disc removal may be required.
3. Before disassembly, photograph or note the exact position and orientation of every spring, retainer and lever.
4. Remove old hardware with suitable brake tools while controlling spring tension. Inspect the parking-brake shoes, cable mechanism and contact points at the same time.
5. Clean the backing-plate contact areas, then install the replacement components in the same orientation as the original layout.
6. Reassemble the brake, adjust the parking-brake mechanism to the vehicle specification and confirm that the wheel rotates correctly when released and holds correctly when applied.

Safety note: braking components are safety-critical. Installation and final adjustment should be carried out or verified by a qualified technician using the model-specific service procedure.

FAQ

Does this kit include the parking-brake shoes?

This listing is for the hardware repair kit shown in the images. Brake shoes and other friction components should be replaced separately when worn.

When should parking-brake hardware be replaced?

Replace hardware when springs have lost tension, metal pieces are distorted or corroded, retainers are damaged, or whenever a brake inspection shows that the original components can no longer hold the shoe assembly securely.

Why replace small hardware during a brake job?

Old springs and retainers can undermine new friction parts. Fresh hardware helps the parking-brake shoes return, locate and adjust as designed.

How do I confirm fitment?

Match part number 673000034 and verify the vehicle by VIN/model before ordering. Brake configurations can vary by year and market.

Can this solve a parking brake that does not hold?

It can correct faults caused by damaged hardware, but weak holding can also result from worn shoes, incorrect adjustment, cable or actuator problems, contamination or other brake faults that require diagnosis.
