Handbrake rebuild

[bloggs24]

Ok, so ive found the rattle in the rear right wheel that has been bothering me for the past year.

After recieving a second hand shock that i purchased from FTG autosalvage i got straight into it, jacked the car up and pulled out the shock assembly from the car, this then allowed me enough movement in the swing arm for me to rock it up and down, the noise was there, i had a look from underneath the car, and i noticed the handbreak cable disconnected. It then hit me that its the handbrake components making the noise. So i put the shock assembly back in and attempt to take the rotor off, just my luck, the bolt holding it in was seized...
The very next day i attack it again, this time with a can of Loctite Freeze and Release, i spray the bolt for 10 seconds, wait 30 seconds and have a go at it, it breaks free straight away! I completely recommend this stuff to anyone with sezied nuts and bolts.

Anywhoo, i get the rotor off and find the handbrake shoe is lose. I adjust the handbreak tension thing, put the shoe back on etc and the noise was really quiet but still there, but within 10 minutes of driving on rough road its got noisy again. So i pulled it all apart again, but now ive pulled the entire handbrake assembly out, noise gone...

Now, the question is does anyone have a how to, or just any advice to rebuilding the handbrake to as new condition?

Will take photos if needed.

I've used Wurth Rost-Off Ice at work and home, similar concept, less time to use. Also used it with a blow torch for a really stubborn bolt
