Failed EPB Advice

Morning world!
My car has experienced the dreaded handbrake failure over the weekend - as usual, just as you need the car. After a little huffing and puffing I managed to pull the release cable and get home.

I am happy with stripping the rear brakes and will replace with new, the advice I need is if it’s worth changing anything else whilst at it?

The awareness of a problem (other than the car not moving) was the horrendous screech as the car tried to disengage - how much damage is caused because of this and should I consider any further replacement parts.

Advice and experiences sought Very Happy

Is that purely for access?
Was the module easy to rebuild?

Easy to rebuild and access is good if you have a lift as both rear brakes need to removed too

Right - rears stripped and cleaned and new shoes
Fuse refitted and go to follow bedding in process - no dash indication of cycle and motor screeching as before.

Am I doomed to a damaged motor?

Had a look at a few older posts at this option, hope to get girl on four post lifts to take a look

Do the cables need to be detached to do this adjustment?
