The bracket for the lower ends of the rear brake shoes are part of the
backing plate assembly. The slotted pins come out but the bracket stays.

I removed the two bolts but it does not want to come apart. I see that there is another hole below the two bolts is this a pin that can be removed? I do not want to pry on the back plate for fear of bending it. I started soaking it with pb blaster and tapping lightly but it still will not move. Any other ideas will be welcomed.
