Before putting new rotors on, use brake cleaner on the parking brake shoes as well as the brake pads. Clean the inside of the rotors completely. Use a very light coating of brake grease on the hub and carefully put the rotor on without touching the inside of the rotor. Before putting on the caliper, clean the outside of the rotor.

BTW, I put new shoes and hardware on my 850. The parking brake holds the car on a hill, but is useless to try using it to slow down the car when it is moving.

Some suggest driving it for a few hundred yards with the handle lifted to 'bed' in the shoes. I don't think that works well...
