E-brake assembly/replacement

I replaced my pads/rotors over the weekend and my ebrake on one side pretty much disintegrated as I took the rotor off. The assembly also came off of its mounts, clips fell and two nails (assuming holding the clips in place) fell out as well. I didnt want to risk putting it together wrong, plus I need a new ebrake pad (or do I need the whole assembly?), so I took the assembly out and just put the rotor on for the time being since it was sunday and the dealer was closed.

Bottom line: does anyone have any assembly or replacement information on 3G e-brakes? I couldnt find a thing.

thanks in advance

I believe I have most of those, but I need a new brake pad so I'm not sure if I can buy that separately or have to buy part of that assembly.

Also, I was more concerned about the assembly of the brake since I dont want this coming apart while driving....that would be a wreck waiting to happen.

Mods: This might be something for the Garage. I didn't see any scans or DIY or P-brake component repair/replacement.

There's a good picture of the P-brake components in this thread:

Here are the scans for P-brake repair/replacement:

U-clip

How do you remove the U-clip? (it's attached to one of the brake shoes with a wave washer)

there are special pliers to get those pins, but needle nose usually works fine, just a bit harder to grab and twist
