Default Parking brake "C" clip

Anyone know where else to find these at ? I don't feel like buying a hole new return spring kit just to get these 2 little clips. Home depot maybe ? Anyone have any ideas ?

Pretty sure that the only way to get those is to buy the hardware kit. Although you may be able to match something up very close to it from a hardware store. Why aren't you just reusing them, or do you not have any at all?

Or go to a junkyard, and pull a couple off. You may not even have to find a Honda, just a car with a similar rear brake

But you usually have the bend the c clip out a little and that part usually messes it up.

Seemed pretty hard to bend it and not ruin it, but I'll try that next time. I might also try home depot still, I found these on the one website, pretty close to being a u clip. There is also a huge factory over here with, nuts and bolts and other misc. things so I might try there.

i would just use the one that is already on the return spring. when i did drums on my boys civic the manual said to pry it off and reuse it . when i was taking those things off i had trouble. i even used a hammer and a screwdriver and tried tapping it out. its gonna get damaged but it wont break. i did thise brakes like 3 weeks ago and no problems yet. i just followed what the book said "pry it out and reuse it"
hope it works outs bro.

i wish all hondas had rear disks
