ok, after much frustration I have figured it out. There is no pivot pin. I guess since I have the ABS 91' cherokee the parking brake bracket has no pin. It has a bent edge that hooks into the shoe. So you have to magically hold that in (cause if it falls out you have to redo it), hold the pad, push down the retainer spring, turn the pin to lock the spring down all with 2 hands. Impossible I say, so my girlfriend help the pad and turned the pin while I maneuvered the spring. From there it wasn't so bad, I had to redo it once I got to the end cause the hanes manual never said to put in the star wheel thing (it only showed a pic with it in and some other stuff being done).
So the washer and U-clip don't apply to me.
