Loose Handbrake / Parking Shoes

[McShmoopy]

Hi everyone, I've changed up my brake discs and pads and re-greased my calliper pins however with the old seized up brake pads I manage to get them off using the M8 Bolts. Upon yanking them off I noticed that two springs , 2 clips faces came flying out and the handbrake shoes seemed to be just loosely hanging behind the rotors. 

From what I can tell there seems to be some riveted long clip and the clip face goes over it but for the life of me I was unable to get them back on. Getting the brake disc on as a result was a nightmare as I had to reshuffle the position of the loose hanging shoes for both the left and right rear brakes. I just wanted to know is this a common issue and is this a major safety issue? I'm thinking to take the car to the garage to get these parking shoes looked at and fitted properly but don't know if this warrants a replacement. I've stuck two photos in of how it's looking and how it should look when I've pressed it in. One of the riveted long clips has been pushed back somewhere into the void but I've retained all the other bits for this in a box. 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like the hold down pins have broken off.

In the top picture, that hole in the middle of the brake shoe...there should be a small pin protruding there. Upon which, a small coil spring and a cap fit over it and keep the shoes snug against the backing plate.

These are the part numbers to replace them.

Pin - 47447-10020

Spring - 90501-16118

Spring cap - 47449-30030 

Did you slacken off the parking brake before removing the disc?

That seems like better names than what I came with, thanks for sharing the part numbers and advising mate! By slacken do you mean disengaging the parking brake? I left it on while taking off the disc so I imagine I didnt 

EDIT: Would this be anything to be concerned about and should I avoid driving the car til I get the hold down pins replaced?

That'll explain why they're broken! Don't worry, I made the same mistake...hence why I know those part numbers. 😀

For future reference, have the parking brake OFF. And, also remove the rubber plug on the disc to reveal the adjustment cog for the parking brake. You can turn it with a flathead screwdriver. You need to loosen it off a little so the disc comes off without grabbing the shoes.

You can drive the car fine until you get it repaired. Just avoid using the parking brake.
