Hi all, I know this is yet another handbrake tread but I having looked around I haven't seen anything that is like my issue. I have recently fitted new disc, pads and handbrake shoe to my 04 tourer. All went relatively well however, the handbrake actuator appears to be coming into contact with the back of the wheel hub resulting in a light 'knocking' sound as he actuator hits the star shaped casting on the back of the hub.

The knocking only goes away when i put the handbrake on one click which isn't good. Any thoughts welcome.

P.S. and no i haven't changed the compensator.
