The S has different wheel bearings for front and rear. If you look at most of the online retailers they will not show a difference for the front or rears even when designating the S model.
Since I had the hub all disassembled I swapped out new parking brake shoes too. However, now I have the shoes rubbing even after adjusting them twice according to th Bentley manual.
Does anyone have any idea how long that rubbing will last?
Thanks

I had a similar problem after having the shoe stick to the drum after a hot session and pulling parking brake. Was able to unstick pretty easily, but ended up having to loosen up the adjustment a couple of times because it would grind in aggressive turns. Too loose or too tight is not good.
