What i found in my handbrake
 

Been doing my brakes the last couple of days.Front went well all nice and free,same with the rear calipers.Then it came to pulling the rear disc's off.Passenger side went fine with the shoes all ok then the drivers side would not move so got it out as far as possible and the pin retainers were not there :doubledown: got it off in the end the shoes were cracked and bent with the top brace arm thats holds them apart like this

The bent end had started to crack and found the other bit's bent and trapped around the shoes.It had not done any damage to the abs ring or sensor.Had to get the bit's from subaru and was not to unhappy at £65 for all the bit's to put right.Found from the bills the brakes were last done by the old owner.Just glad it did not lock any thing up.

Doesn't sound like it LOL....
Or even remove the rear bung and click the adjuster loose......LOL......

Not a total novice :nono: the adjusters were loose and yes i did use the 2 m8 holes to evenly draw the disc off :doubleup: Thing was i missed that he shoe pin's where missing as i did not think to check them.The caps and springs from these were as i said in side the edge of the shoes.From the marks on the shoes they had been like it for a while.
