Default 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 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.
