rear rotor help I think something is broken

[ScubaJon]

So I got my passenger side rear rotor off after lossening the parking brake and I had to use 2- 8x 1.25 50 mm
bolts and I had to screw them all the way in and then back out and add a spacer to get the rotor off.

Before it got all the way off I found some springs and metal parts in the bottom of the rotor ya that cant be good.

So how screwed am I ? I have no clue where they go and I dont really want to take the drivers side apart to look in case it does the same thing I did see some brass colored wires that look like it may be what the springs and metal parts go to but I really dont know how its suposed to look.


Also the pads look very well worn but I don't really know how they should look I assume they need replacing

Thanks for any help you can give me,

or should I just take the drivers side apart and see what it looks like ?

Looks like some of the ebrake parts. I'd take apart the other side and see what it looks like (if it's not broken as well).

ebrake parts, no need to worry. Rip into the driver's side. At least that's what I'd do.

ok took the drivers side apart to see what it looked like and it was all together.

However the pin that the spring and metal parts go on on the passengers side the one that is bent with a step in it not the stright one seems to be missing a part where it goes through the dustshield its like a 3/8 in hole and on the un broken side it seems like there is a "spacer" that the bent pin goes into and its missing on the passengers side unless I have it in the wrong hole. I am going to look again .

I had the same problem, one of my p-brakes ate all it's hardware....ended up being an excuse to replace a frozen crank and get everything working again....took me some digging, but here is the parts diagram for the P-brake...

Hope that helps/what you are looking for....

thanks for that.

It ended up being one of the pins 47447e from your diagram was almost straight. I am not sure if I did it when I pulled the rotor or if it was messed up a while ago by the original owner. Needless to say 3 bucks and 3 hours of drive time to a dealer and back and its all good again.

The upper pin is from the drivers side and is correct. With the passenger side so stretched out it was not holding the shoe up tight so it may have slid forward and jamed up the rotor and why I had trouble getting it off. Or I may have not loosened the e brake enough. But I did the same on both sides and the drivers side came out perfect.

Now on to the fronts in the Morning. LOL I hear the rears are easy compared to the fronts Im not sure what I am about to get into.
