In my personal experience doing hundreds of brake jobs, if there are clips that need replacing they can usually be found by 1.buying the higher end brake pad replacements (usually come with all optional replacement parts) 2. Ask at the auto parts store if they carry a brake harware kit for that particular car and either front or back. 3. Call the dealership parts counter and ask.
Remove all rust from pad and caliper sliding surfaces,eg metal to metal,not the pins,they get synthetic brake lube. Apply anti-seize to all sliding surfaces. Make sure you can screw in the rear caliper piston,if applicable, and manually ratchet up the parking brake,after caliper and pads are on. Bleed/Flush all 4 Wheels. Make sure you can slide the pads back and forth,before lubing end tabs. You may need to file a little off the ends or just remove the paint. Make sure parking brake cables are really releasing.

The rear brakes are the same drum & brake shoe type. Each rear wheel has a brake drum that rotates with the wheel. When the
brakes are applied, a brake shoe is forced into contact with the brake
drum to slow wheel rotation...........................sodeep
Under the center console is a Y in the cable that leads under and around the top/rear side of the brake handle. At the top/rear of the handle is a locknut and threaded shaft to adjust tension.
Be sure to not have any drag on the brakes when you are done adjusting!
There is a race bearing on the back side of the rotor. If you haven't replaced it, I would strongly recommend it. You should change those out every time you change your rotors. Most new rotors come with new race bearings, if it did come with a new one (and it isn't shot yet), pull it out and pack it with grease. Wear latex gloves, put a pile of general purpose grease in your hand, and start stuffing the grease into the bearing until it comes out the other side.
