    Default Emergency brake assembly broken

    I was driving my 2007 XC70 and out of the left rear came a couple of huge clunks and then a grinding noise. I suspect broken/separated ebrake shoes which I had happen once before. I took it apart and that’s it exactly what it was. EXCEPT a large metal lug which sits between the green new of the brake pads facing the rear of the car broke off which looks like it was attached the knuckle/hub. It’s made of cast or pot metal. Not exactly sure but in any event it looks like a very big and expensive job to repair.

    A couple of questions:

    -Can you give me insight as to what parts need to be replaced to get it back in order?

    -Do I need to replace the parts or can I get the ebrake to work well enough on the passenger side to pass inspection. Basically,only use the right side?

    The car has 221k miles on it, the timing belt should be replaced and I have a small Evan leak somewhere. It is one big repair away from the scrap heap but it barely burns any oil, the interior is in stellar shape for its age, I have pretty new tires on it, exhaust was replaced 3 years ago, PCV upgrade/repair has been done and many other things. All major maintenance is done regularly including transmission drain and fill every 15k miles.

    So if I can pass inspection and keep it on the road I would like to. Any and all advice appreciated!!
